ABSTRACT
Malignant colorectal obstruction results in a worse quality of life and makes it difficult for patients to continue chemotherapy. In this paper, we present a case of rectal obstruction caused by gastric cancer dissemination for which rectal stent insertions were performed twice. The patient was a 72-year-old woman. She underwent gastrectomy for Stage â
£ gastric cancer (ypT3, N1, M1, P0, H0, CY+). Twenty-eight months after gastrectomy, she experienced rectal obstruction due to peritoneal dissemination. A rectal stent was placed at the stenosis site. She was administered chemotherapy after stenting. Seven months later, she developed rectal obstruction due to tumor in-growth. Rectal stenting was performed again. Subsequently, the patient had no abdominal symptoms until she died, 2 months after the second stenting.
