title: [Efficacy of intraperitoneal chemotherapy for advanced Borrmann type IV gastric carcinoma].
abstract: We report four patients with advanced Borrmann type IV gastric carcinoma, in whom intraperitoneal chemotherapy with low-dose CDDP and 5-FU plus MMC via a peritoneal port was effective against peritoneal metastasis. However, none of the four patients survived for a long period. During treatment, they were followed on an outpatient basis and received intraperitoneal chemotherapy biweekly with good control of peritoneal metastasis. The ratio of the outpatient follow-up period was more than 50% in all these patients. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy may be effective for controlling peritoneal metastasis of advanced Borrmann type IV gastric carcinoma, and contribute to maintaining the patient's quality of life.
