title: [A case of advanced gastric cancer surviving 3 years and 6 months after resection of Krukenberg's tumor].
abstract: Total gastrectomy was performed in a patient with an advanced gastric cancer (stage III). One year and eleven months postoperatively, Krukenberg's tumor was recognized and the prognosis was considered to be poor. A recurrence of ascites was identified. After resection of tumor, CDDP was administered intraperitoneally, and 5-FU tablets were administered orally as a maintenance therapy for a long term. The patient has continued to be in a good condition without any sign of recurrence for three years and six months (ie, five years and five months after previous gastrectomy).
