title: [A case of advanced gastric cancer responding well by preoperative chemotherapy with CDDP and MMC].
abstract: A 35-year-old female who suffered advanced gastric cancer (classified Borrmann type 3) with para-aortic lymph nodes swelling received chemotherapy preoperatively. These lymph nodes, which could be detected by abdominal CT scan, were highly suspected of metastasis from gastric cancer. The regimens of neoadjuvant chemotherapy were Mitomycin C (MMC) 8 mg/m2 and Cis-platinum (CDDP) 75 mg/m2, administered intravenously as one course. After she was given these two courses, we performed total gastrectomy, pancreatico-splenectomy, and lymph-adenectomy curatively. The patient has been maintained in an outpatient clinic for one and half years without any evidence of recurrence.
