[A case of nonresectable gastric cancer treated by sequential methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil].
An advanced gastric cancer patient with multiple retroperitoneal lymph node metastases and bone metastases was treated with sequential MTX and 5-FU. Complete response was obtained against both gastric primary lesion and retroperitoneal lymph nodes observed endoscopically and by computed tomography. Partial response was obtained against bone metastases observed by bone scintigraphy. Side effects of the chemotherapy were not observed.
