[A case of far-advanced gastric cancer treated with continuous 5-fluorouracil injection and intrahepatic arterial infusion of low-dose cisplatin].
A 57-year-old man suffering from gastric cancer with esophageal invasion and liver and paraaortic lymph nodes metastases was treated with continuous 5-FU injection and intra-hepatic arterial infusion of low-dose cisplatin following non-curative surgery. The patient had shown a partial response (PR) in both metastatic lesions with little side effect. In the period following his operation, he was able to sustain a relatively good quality of life and died 16 months after the operation. Continuous injection of 5-FU and low-dose cisplatin infusion could become one of the effective pre-operative chemotherapies for patients with far-advanced gastric cancer when performing a curative resection.
