title: [Treatment of recurrent gastric cancer].
abstract: The recurrence rate of resected gastric cancer was 31.9%. The rate was in creasingly higher in proportion to the lack of radicality. The most common type of recurrence was peritoneal dissemination, followed by hematogeneous metastasis, local recurrence, and distant lymph node metastasis. The treatments for recurrence were surgery (9.3%) and chemotherapy (16.1%). Systemic chemotherapy (intravenous iv) was common, and local chemotherapy (intraarterial ia, intraperitoneal ip) was rate. The efficacy of systemic chemotherapy (iv) for recurrent gastric cancer without local recurrence was suggested. The efficacy of local chemotherapy (ia) was suggested for peritoneal dissemination and local recurrence.
