ABSTRACT
A 65-year-old man who had AFP producing gastric cancer with massive lymph-node metastasis was admitted to our institution. Because of bulky lymph-node metastasis, the tumor was considered unresectable. He was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy of S-1 and cisplatin (CDDP).S-1 (80 mg/m2/day) was administered for 21 consecutive days followed by 14 days rest as one course,and CDDP (60 mg/m2) was infused over 2 hours on day 8. After 1 course, radiographic examination showed remarkable improvement in the tumor size of the stomach, and computed tomography showed markedly reduced paraaortic lymph node metastasis. However, surgery was performed after 3 weeks,because of the adverse effect of diarrhea grade 3 after one course of the chemotherapy. This is a rare case in which neoadjuvant chemotherapy of S-1 and CDDP may well be an effective treatment for unresectable AFP producing gastric cancer with bulky lymph-node metastasis.
