title: [A case of advanced gastric cancer with liver metastases successfully treated by combination therapy of TS-1 and docetaxel].
abstract: The patient was a 70-year-old man who was diagnosed inoperable because of liver metastases of advanced gastric cancer and his respiratory dysfunction. He received docetaxel at the starting dose of 40 mg/m(2) by iv infusion over 1 hour on day 1 and TS-1 at the full dose of 80 mg/m(2) daily for two weeks every three weeks. After 6 cycles of this combination therapy, gastric cancer with liver metastases entirely disappeared. No re-growth of gastric cancer has been seen for three years with chemotherapy of TS-1. This chemotherapy shows a high degree of safety and efficacy in this patient.
