[A case of advanced gastric cancer with multiple liver metastases in an elderly patient that responded dramatically to UFT therapy].
An 88-year-old female patient suffering from Borrmann type 3 advanced gastric cancer complicated by multiple hepatic metastases underwent a total gastrectomy. A small dose of 200 mg/day of UFT was administered orally every day postoperatively. At postoperative month 6, a marked diminishment of the hepatic metastatic lesions was noted. Resection of the primary lesion with a regimen of a small oral dose of UFT was remarkably effective in this elderly gastric cancer patient with complications from multiple hepatic metastases.
