Popis: A 70-year-old man with left abdominal pain was referred to our hospital, and was diagnosed with type 1 advanced gastric cancer with lymph node metastasis. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC)with docetaxel and S-1 combination was administered. After 2 courses of chemotherapy, total gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection, splenectomy, and cholecystectomy were performed. Pathologically, viable cancer cells were not evident in the primary lesion and lymph nodes. The pathological response of NAC was judged to be Grade 3. On immunohistochemical analysis of the biopsy specimens obtained before treatment, the cancer cells were positive for class III b-tubulin and negative for TS, DPD, and ERCC1. The anti-tumor effect of S-1 may have led to the pCR.
