title: [Successful Weekly Nanoparticle Albumin-Bound Paclitaxel Therapy for a Case of Gastric Cancer with Oncological Emergency of Liver Metastasis].
abstract: An 82-year-old man with far-advanced gastric cancer underwent palliative distal gastrectomy. After operation, he was treated with S-1 therapy and maintained stable disease during 3 courses of chemotherapy. However, he stopped taking the drug according to self-judgment. After that, he was admitted to our hospital because of jaundice and general malaise. We diagnosed oncologic emergency with liver metastasis. He was treated with weekly nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel. After 1 course of chemotherapy, his symptoms were improved and he was discharged. In the case of an oncologic emergency, proper administration of an anticancer drug may have a beneficial effect in patients. Herein, we report a case of recovery from an oncologic emergency by chemotherapy.
