[A long-survival case of gastric cancer with multiple liver metastasis: usefulness of intraoperative multimodality therapy and post-operative intra-arterial chemotherapy for liver lesions].
A 62-year-old man was found to have advanced cancer of the gastric cardia with multiple liver metastasis. Total gastrectomy was performed, and 11 hepatic lesions were simultaneously treated by intraoperative multimodality therapy. The therapy included hepatic resections for seven easily-resectable lesions, microwave coagulation therapy for two lesions, and ethanol injection therapy for two. Post-operative intra-arterial infusion of 1,000 mg of 5-FU was performed weekly or every two weeks through the hepatic artery using a reservoir. No recurrence was found during the follow-up period of 35 months. When local control is obtained during surgery in patients with gastric cancer with multiple liver metastasis, intraoperative multimodality therapy and post-operative intra-arterial chemotherapy should be performed for liver lesions.
