[A case of advanced gastric cancer with liver metastasis with no recurrence and long survival].
A 61-year-old male was admitted after detecting gastric lesion by gastrography in a medical health examination. The patient was diagnosed as Borrmann 2 advanced gastric cancer with remarkable intraperitoneal lymph node metastasis and liver tumor of lateral segment. Relative non-curative gastrectomy was performed with combined partial hepatectomy. The liver tumor measured 1.5 x 1.5 cm and was intraoperatively diagnosed as metastasis of gastric cancer. Mitomycin C 26 mg was given intravenously on the day of operation and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) 150 mg/day orally since postoperative 14th day as adjuvant chemotherapy. The administration of 5-FU was continued for 5 years. As a result of such combination therapy, the patient still has had no recurrence 8 years following operation.
