title: [Usefulness of contrast-enhanced CT of the peritoneum to evaluate efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for peritoneal dissemination in an advanced gastric cancer case].
abstract: We performed contrast-enhanced CT before and after chemotherapy in a patient with advanced gastric cancer to assess the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for peritoneal dissemination. The patient was preoperatively given combined chemotherapy with UFT and CDDP. Hepatic metastatic and peritoneal disseminated foci were markedly reduced on CT. Thus CT proved to be useful for assessing peritoneal dissemination and the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
