[A case of advanced gastric cancer complicated with liver metastases responding remarkably to combined chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil and low-dose cisplatin, with UFT and low-dose cisplatin for maintenance on an outpatient basis].
A 77-year-old man who had advanced gastric cancer with multiple liver metastases was treated by combined chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil and low-dose cisplatin for 1 and half courses (1 course = 4 weeks). After this treatment, the primary gastric lesion was reduced, the liver metastases disappeared, and serum tumor marker levels decreased. After discharge, we administered a dose of 300 mg of UFT-E orally every day, and 10 mg of CDDP intravenously once weekly on an outpatient basis. The patient has survived with a good quality of life.
