title: [Chemotherapy for peritoneal dissemination in gastric cancer under ureteral catheterization].
abstract: The treatment of peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer is mainly chemotherapy, but it use is often limited by ileus, hydronephrosis and jaundice. We employed a ureteral catheter for 6 patients with hydronephrosis due to peritoneal dissemination. Chemotherapy (CDDP + ADM + 5-FU or MTX + 5-FU) was administered in 5 patients. After ureteral catheterization, renal function was kept within normal ranges, so chemotherapy was performed safely. One of five patients became CR and the effect of the treatment was satisfactory (PR: 1, NC: 2). Thus, chemotherapy after ureteral catheterization may be effective for patients with peritoneal dissemination and hydronephrosis.
