[A Case of Locally Advanced Gallbladder Cancer That Developed Early Multiple Liver Metastasis after Curative Resection, and Achieved Long-TermPartial Remission Using S-1 and Gemcitabine].

A 76-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of an abdominal tumor in September 2009. An irregularly shaped large tumor was detected in the right subcostal abdominal cavity on computed tomography, and was diagnosed as advanced gallbladder cancer without distant metastasis following further examination. We then performed a laparotomy. The tumor had invaded directly into the descending portion of the duodenum and transverse colon. We performed a curative resection of the tumor macroscopically. Pathological findings were moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma derived from gallbladder cancer(T3N0M0, Stage III ). Postoperative antineoplasticc hemotherapy was not administered. At least 4 metastaticregions in the liver(segments 1, 5, 7, and 8)were detected using computed tomography 3 months after the operation, and we then initiated oral administration of S-1. After beginning treatment, we observed partial remission at 3 months and continued treatment. We changed the regimen of chemotherapy to gemcitabine 11 months later because of a drug-induced corneal disorder. One after treatment change also continues advertising, and treatment has ended 5 years after the operation. The patient has not received any treatment for the last 6 years and 7 months, and is now in the follow up period.
