RESUMO
A 77-year-old-woman underwent distal gastrectomy D2 lymph node dissection and cholecystectomy followed by Roux- en-Y reconstruction for Stage â ¢C gastric neuroendocrine cell carcinoma in January 2017. In July of the same year, an abdominal computed tomography scan revealed liver metastasis in segment 4. For treatment of recurrence, SP therapy(S-1 and cisplatin), ramucirumab plus weekly paclitaxel therapy, and nivolumab were administered in that order. TAS-102 was started as the fourth-line agent for multiple liver metastases, para-aortic lymph node metastases, and cancerous peritonitis. Although Grade 2 anemia, Grade 1 oral mucositis and general fatigue were observed during the treatment, both liver metastases and para-aortic lymph node metastases showed improvement after three courses, and the patient was able to continue 11 courses in 1 year. She died 1 year and 5 months after the first administration of TAS-102. TAS-102 can be effective after immune checkpoint inhibitor as a late treatment for gastric cancer and NEC. The appropriate timing for switching drug therapy may be important in the future. We report a favorable therapeutic effect of TAS-102 after immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment along with a review of the literature.
