[A Case of Long-Term Disease-Free Survival of a Gastric Cancer Patient with Peritoneal Dissemination and Transverse Colon Invasion].
Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2018 December
A 71-year-old man visited our hospital because ofepigastralgia and anorexia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed type 1 gastric cancer. Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT revealed gastric wall thickening in the midgastric region and direct invasion ofthe transverse colon. CT findings also revealed a suspicion ofdissemination on the omentum and para-aortic lymph node swelling. We diagnosed gastric cancer with transverse colon invasion. Therefore, we performed distal gastrectomy with transverse colectomy and D2+No.16b1 lymph node dissection after obtaining patient consent. We observed direct tumor invasion into the transverse colon and seeding nodules on the omentum. Liver metastasis was not seen, and ascitic cytology was negative. He was discharged 16 days postoperatively, without any complications. Histopathological analysis revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and gastrocolic fistula. Postoperatively, S-1 was administered for 4 years as adjuvant chemotherapy. There has been no recurrence for 9 years after surgery.
