title: [A case of advanced gastric cancer successfully treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy with CPT-11, CDDP and 5-FU].
abstract: A patient with advanced gastric cancer was treated with combined administration of CPT-11 CDDP and 5-FU before operation. CPT-11 was given intravenously at a dose of 30 mg/m2/day on day 1 and day 8. At the same time, 5 mg/m2/day CDDP and 350 mg/m2/day 5-FU were infused for 2 weeks. The patient experienced no other adverse reaction than a mild degree of nausea. Histological examination of the resected specimen revealed complete disappearance of cancer cells both in the stomach and the regional lymphnodes.
