[A case report: postoperative recurrence of peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer responding to sequential methotrexate and 5-FU (5-fluorouracil)].
In a 61-year-old female patient, the recurrence of peritoneal dissemination after total gastrectomy due to gastric cancer responded well to chemotherapy of sequential methotrexate and 5-FU. A total of 10 courses of this chemotherapy diminished ascites, normalized the value of CA 19-9, and re-opened the left obstructed ureter. During this therapy, the patient's condition was good, with no experience of nausea or leukopenia.
