We report a resected case of effective treatment with S-1+CPT-11 combination chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer. The patient was a 65-year-old man who had a type 3 gastric cancer from the middle body of the stomach to the angle. An abdominal CT scan demonstrated bulky lymph node metastasis (cType 3, T3, N2, M0, cStage IIIb), which was then treated with S-1+CPT-11 (S-1 80 mg/m2 day 1-21, CPT-11 80 mg/m2 day 1, 15/5 weeksx2 courses)as neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After 2 courses of chemotherapy, the primary lesion and regional metastatic lymph nodes were reduced by CT (cType 3, T2, N2, M0, cStage IIIa). Total gastrectomy with D3 nodal dissection was performed. The histological diagnosis was pT2 (ss), pN0, sH0, pCY0, sP0, sM0, tub2, INF beta, ly0, v1, n0, stage I b, Cur A, and the histological effect of the main tumor was judged to be Grade 1b. He was treated by S-1 after surgery. The patient has been in good health without a recurrence for 3 years after surgery. This case suggests that neoadjuvant chemotherapy with S-1+CPT-11 is a potential regimen for advanced gastric cancer. |
