[A case of complete response in a primary lesion treated by combined chemotherapy of TS-1 and CDDP for small cell carcinoma of the stomach with liver metastasis].
A 75-year-old male patient with small cell carcinoma of the stomach and liver metastasis was treated by combined chemotherapy of TS-1 and CDDP. One course consisted of TS-1 (120 mg/day) administered for 14 days followed by 14 days rest. CDDP (108 mg/day) was administered by 24-hour continuous intravenous infusion at day 8 after the start of TS-1. After 3 courses, endoscopic examination revealed complete disappearance of the primary tumor with no cancer cells detected by endoscopic biopsy. CT-scan showed that the metastasis of the left lobe of the liver had disappeared and also that the metastasis of the right lobe of the liver was remarkably reduced (75%). The primary lesion was estimated CR, the metastasis PR, and the synthesis PR. The TS-1/CDDP chemotherapy regimen is considered effective for small cell carcinoma of the stomach with liver metastasis.
