[A case report of advanced gastric cancer with carcinomatous ascites successfully treated by outpatient chemotherapy].
The patient was a 54-year-old male with peritoneal dissemination and carcinomatous ascites of advanced gastric cancer. Although 4 months of temporary partial responses were obtained by a combination chemotherapy with TS-1 and DOC, retention of ascites appeared. Second-line combination chemotherapy with 5-FU and PTX was not effective, and we attempted to use intraperitoneal chemotherapy of low-dose CDDP. After 100 mg of CDDP had been administered, ascites almost disappeared. Then,intraperitoneal injection of low-dose CDDP and intravenous injection of 5-FU were given. Tumor marker decreased remarkably, and CT revealed reduction of peritoneal dissemination. These regimens seem to be effective in ambulant patients with advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination and carcinomatous ascites.
