title: [An elderly gastric cancer patient with multiple-node metastases treated successfully using S-1].
abstract: A n 83-year-old male presented with a leg edema. Gastrointestinal endoscopic examination showed advanced gastric cancer type 2, which was diagnosed as mod~well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography (CT) showed enlarged multiple lymph nodes. He was treated with oral S-1, 80 mg/day for 14 days, followed by a 7-day rest. After two courses of treatment, CT showed reduction of the lymph nodes. After 8 courses of treatment, total gastrectomy and lymph node dissection were performed. The histological diagnoses were tub 2>tub 1, pSS, pN0, pStage I B. One year and 10 months postoperatively, the patient is alive without recurrence.
