A 38-year-old woman who presented with complaints of back pain was diagnosed with cancer of the pancreatic body. Since invasion of the celiac artery/superior mesenteric artery was suspected, she was referred to our department for chemotherapy. She received 4 courses of gemcitabine plus S-1(GS), and she underwent distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection/portal vein resection/reconstruction using a left renal vein graft(OP-CAR). Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed a positive margin(R1). She received 11 courses of GS as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. She developed marked abdominal distension due to metastatic ovarian enlargement, and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. The intraoperative findings revealed multiple peritoneal dissemination. Peritoneocentesis was performed, and the patient was started on gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin(GEMOX)for control of the ascites. This treatment was followed by a rapid decrease in the size of the ascites and resolution of the symptoms of stenosis. The serum tumor marker levels decreased over the following 18months. She received a total of 35 courses of GEMOX. This patient showed long-term survival after the start of treatment: she survived for 5 years and 11 months after the initial examination and for 5 years and 6 months after the surgery. Our experience in this case suggests that GEMOX could be a useful treatment option to improve prognosis. |
