title: [Complete response in a case of recurrent gastric cancer treated with TS-1].
abstract: We report the case of 72-year-old man with recurrent gastric cancer who was successfully treated with TS-1. We performed only non-curative operation because the tumor had infiltrated the pancreas head and aspiration pneumonia complications developed under the anesthetic. Abdominal CT revealed local recurrence and metastasis of the paraaortic lymph node after 3 months, so we started TS-1 chemotherapy. One course consisted of daily oral administration of 100 mg TS-1 for 4 weeks and withdrawal for 2 weeks. The recurrent lesions disappeared completely after 1 course. Furthermore, this therapy was continued for 3 courses without any side effects.
