title: [A case of scirrhous gastric cancer with peritoneal metastases successfully treated by combined chemotherapy of biweekly paclitaxel and TS-1 followed by curative resection].
abstract: The patient was a 50-year-old male with advanced gastric cancer. Laparoscopy showed peritoneal metastases. We thought a complete resection would be difficult, so he was given neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with paclitaxel (200 mg, day 1, 15) and TS-1 (120 mg/day, for days 1-14 with a 2-week rest). After 3 courses of this neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the tumor decreased in size. Laparoscopy showed no peritoneal metastasis, and thus a total gastrectomy with splenectomy and D 2 lymph node dissection was performed. The pathological diagnosis was sig, LM, type 4, pT 3 (SE), sci, INFgamma, ly 0, v 0, pN 0, pPM (-), pDM (-), and the antitumor efficacy of this therapy was Grade 0 histologically. Combined chemotherapy of biweekly paclitaxel and TS-1 was thought to be an effective neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer in this case.
