title: [A Case of Resected Advanced Gastric Cancer Exhibiting Pathological Complete Response after Neoadjuvant Che-motherapy(DTX/CDDP/S-1:DCS)].
abstract: A 71-year-old man was diagnosed with gastric cancer (LM, Less, type 2, T4aN2M0, cStageⅢb). A diagnostic laparoscopic surgery revealed serosal invasion without peritoneal dissemination. Two courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for locally advanced gastric cancer using DCS (DTX: 20 mg/m2 on day 1, CDDP: 50 mg/m2 on day 1, S-1: 120 mg/day, twice a day on days 1-14) was performed, which resulted in a clinical partial response. Consequently, distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection, and BillrothⅠreconstruction were carried out. Histopathological examination revealed no residual cancer cells both in the primary lesion and in the lymph nodes, indicating a pathological complete response (grade 3). Six courses of S-1 (120 mg/day on days 1-28, followed by 2 weeks of rest) were administered as adjuvant chemotherapy. At the 2 years 10 months follow-up after adjuvant therapy, the patient has had no recurrence. Combination chemotherapy with NAC-DCS can be a safe and effective regimen for locally advanced gastric cancer.
