[A case of gastric carcinoma with multiple skin, bone, and bilateral ovary metastasis; effective treatment by chemotherapy].
A 40-year-old female visited our hospital with general malaise. She was diagnosed with gastric carcinoma with multiple skin, bone, and bilateral ovary metastases. Chemotherapy with 5-FU (1,000 mg/w) and cisplatin (10 mg/w) was performed in the outpatient clinic. Two years after the initial diagnosis, CEA was elevated. She then was given chemotherapy of CPT-11 (40 mg/w) in the outpatient clinic after 1 cycle of combined chemotherapy of CPT-11 and cisplatin. She died 38 months after the initial diagnosis. Weekly 5-FU/CDDP or low-dose CPT-11 appear to be effective for such a gastric carcinoma with systemic metastases without impairing quality of life.
