A 72-year-old man underwent surgery for advanced gastric cancer. Systemic chemotherapy was started, using a regimen of S-1/CDDP for 4 courses, followed by 8 courses of S-1. Three years and 8 months after the surgery, abdominal CT demonstrated ascites, and the serum CA19-9 level was abnormally high (1,165.1 U/mL). Adenocarcinoma cells were found in the ascites. Treatment with S-1/docetaxel (DOC) wa...
A 32-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with the complaint of epigastric pain. Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a type 5 advanced gastric cancer at the posterior wall of the antrum. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic ultrasonography showed a fluid collection, indicating peritoneal metastasis. CEA levels were elevated, at 16.5 ng/mL. A diagnosis was made of cStage Ⅳ...
