ABSTRACT
A 69-year-old female patient underwent a choledochojejunostomy for unresectable duodenal papilla cancer with para-aortic lymph node metastases. Both tegafur-uracil(UFT) and cyclophosphamide were given orally every day after surgery. Twenty-eight months from the initiation of the chemotherapy the tumor had remarkably reduced and the objective response was evaluated as a PR. The patient is now doing well. Lymph node metastasis is considered an important prognostic factor of papilla Vater carcinoma, and especially with para-aortic lymph node metastases the long-term prognosis is poor. Combination chemotherapy using UFT and cyclophosphamide would be a therapeutic option for elderly or high-risk patients.
