[A case of effective response to TS-1 of inoperable gastric cancer, in the course of chemotherapy for malignant lymphoma].

ABSTRACT

We encountered a case of effective response to TS-1 of inoperable gastric cancer, in the course of chemotherapy for malignant lymphoma. A 78-year-old man, in the course of chemotherapy for malignant lymphoma, complained of appetite loss. A biopsy from gastric endoscopy indicated gastric carcinoma. This was diagnosed as inoperable gastric cancer, and gastro-jejunostomy was performed. After administration of TS-1 orally for 4 courses, it was observed to be effective with no severe adverse events.
