We treated hepatic metastasis of gastric cancer with
CPT-11
therapy and obtained complete remission of the hepatic tumor that has been maintained for than 2 years postoperatively. The patient was a 71-year-old man with a history of
angina pectoris
. In 1988, gastric cancer was diagnosed, and he underwent distal gastrectomy at another hospital. In 2003, the patient began to suffer from regurgitation symptoms and presented to our hospital in October of the year. Remnant gastric cancer was diagnosed as a result of detailed investigation. Preoperative imaging revealed the presence of a solitary tumor (6 cm in diameter) in the posterior lobe of the liver, and it was confirmed to be a hepatic metastasis from the remnant gastric cancer by needle biopsy. We decided to treat this metastasis with postoperative systemic chemotherapy. Total resection of the remnant stomach was done in November 2003 and oral S-1 therapy was started 3 weeks after surgery. When the response of the hepatic metastasis was evaluated after the completion of 3 courses, the tumor showed enlargement. Therefore, his chemotherapy was changed to
CPT-11
. After a total 900 mg of
CPT-11
had been administered, imaging studies confirmed disappearance of the hepatic metastasis. The patient remains disease-free and has no impairment of daily activities 2 years after resection of the remnant stomach.
