A 73-year-old man underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy during a medical check-up that revealed a Type 2 lesion in the anterior wall of the gastric body. The biopsy confirmed tub2. A contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed focal wall thickening and lymphadenopathy in the gastric body. The patient was diagnosed with gastric cancer(M, ante, Type 2, T4aN1M0, Stage ⅢA). Laparotomy total gastrectomy D2 dissection and Roux-en-Y reconstruction were performed. Pathological results were tub1, int, INF b, ly0, v1, pT4aN0M0, pStage ⅡB. S-1(100 mg/day)was started as adjuvant chemotherapy but discontinued after 3 courses due to anorexia(Grade 2). Multiple pulmonary metastases(both lungs, 5)were confirmed by CT examination 9 months after the operation. A diagnosis of gastric cancer recurrence was made, and CapeOX plus nivolumab was started as first-line therapy. After 2 courses, lung metastases tended to shrink. The lesion developed a complete response(CR)after 3 months. After that, CapeOX plus nivolumab was continued, but peripheral neuropathy(Grade 2)was observed in the 15th course. With continued capecitabine monotherapy and nivolumab(impaired liver function [Grade 3]for irAE), despite the maintenance of CR, hepatic function increased repeatedly(Grade 3)and led to the discontinuation of chemotherapy upon patient's request. Currently, CR has been maintained for 5 years and 6 months after recurrence. |
