title: [A case of liver metastasis of gastric cancer undergoing non-curative operation responding completely to combination therapy of S-1 and CDDP].
abstract: We experienced a case with liver metastasis of gastric cancer that disappeared by S-1 administration following non-curative operation. A distal gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer with liver metastasis was performed on a 71-year-old male. S-1 was administered at 100 mg/body/day for 4 weeks followed by withdrawal for 2 weeks, and CDDP was prescribed at 5 mg/body/day div, for 2 days per a week as 1 course. After one course of treatment, the liver metastatic lesion decreased in size (reduction ratio was 87.4%). For side effect, S-1 100 mg alone was administered beginning with the second course. This lesion became CR after four courses. The adverse events of grade 3 observed during S-1 administration were neutropenia and diarrhea. We changed S-1 to UFT after nine courses, and the patient has now survived 1 year without recurrence after the disappearance of liver metastasis.
