[A case of multiple liver metastasis from remnant gastric cancer responding to leucovorin.5-FU+UFT therapy].
We report a case of a 67-year-old male patient who experienced multiple liver metastasis 6 months after undergoing an operation for remnant gastric cancer. The histological classification of the cancer in gastric remnant was poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient was treated with a low dose of LV.5-FU once a week and oral UFT as an outpatient. As a result, after 3 months of the treatment, CT showed that multiple liver lesions almost disappeared, a condition that lasted about 3 years without relapse. Toxic effects due to this treatment were temporary slight liver disfunction, mild anorexia and stomatitis. This case indicates that the regimen of LV.5-FU+UFT may be effective for multiple liver metastasis from postoperative remnant gastric cancer, enabling the patient to maintain an excellent QOL (quality of life).
