Abstract

We report a successful case with irinotecan (CPT-11 60 mg/m2) + cisplatin (CDDP 30 mg/m2) chemotherapy (once in 2 weeks) for recurrent gastric cancer of the remnant stomach. A 77-year-old man was performed a distal gastrectomy for duodenal ulcer 42 years ago. He had a total gastrectomy for gastric cancer of remnant stomach when he was at 73 years old. After the surgery, we treated this patient with S-1 mono-therapy for five courses. However, we finished this treatment for lymph-node metastases. Next we treated him with CPT-11 + CDDP. An abdominal CT revealed a CR after 6 courses. We finished this treatment after 12 courses for anemia (grade 3). After the treatment, the metastatic lymph-nodes appeared in no change. So we considered that CR was continued for 3.5 years.
