[A case of liver metastases from gastric cancer treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy].
A 69-year-old man underwent distal gastrectomy in September 2007 for type 2 gastric cancer with liver metastasis (S5) in LM area (p-T2N3aM1, Stage IV). After the operation, we performed chemotherapy. But the liver metastasis was enlarged, so we performed a partial hepatectomy in July 2008. After hepatectomy, liver metastases appeared on S6 and S7 in February 2009. So we performed the fifth-line chemotherapy with paclitaxel. The effect of paclitaxel was not so good. Therefore, SBRT was performed for the liver metastases (S6/7 and S7) in December 2009 and February 2010. After SBRT, he had no recurrent tumor. SBRT was one of the effective treatments for liver metastases from gastric cancer.
