[A Case of Unresectable Gastric Cancer Who Underwent Conversion Surgery after SP Therapy and Achieved Long-Term Survival].

ABSTRACT

The case was a man in his 60s. With a complaint of loss of appetite, a peripheral type 3 lesion was found from the lower body of the stomach to the vestibule, and a biopsy revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. CT examination revealed that the tumor had invaded the left lobe of the liver and the transverse colon, and that the para-aortic lymph nodes were swollen and multiple nodules of the gastrocolonic mesentery were found. After 6 courses of S-1 plus cisplatin(SP)therapy were performed, the tumor shrank and lymph node swelling and nodule disappearance were observed. Laparotomy and pyloric gastrectomy, partial liver resection, D2 dissection, and Roux-en-Y reconstruction were performed. As a result of histopathological examination, R0 was resected. After the operation, S-1 was taken orally for 1 year, and no recurrence or metastasis has been observed 6 and a half years after the operation. This time, we report a valuable case in which SP therapy was successful for unresectable gastric cancer and long-term survival was obtained by conversion surgery.
