Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2019 January
An 82-year-oldwoman was admittedto our hospital because of appetite loss andwas diagnosedwith a Type 3 tumor in the lower gastric body. Pathological examination suggested moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma with negative staining for HER2 by immunohistochemistry. An abdominal CT revealedthickening of the gastric wall andparaaortic lymph node metastases. The clinical findings suggested Stage Ⅳ disease(T4aN3M1). Chemotherapy was administered with a combination of S-1 plus oxaliplatin(SOX). After 2 courses of the SOX regimen, an abdominal CT showed a reduction of the paraaor- tic lymph node metastases, and the CEA level hadd ecreasedto 6.2 ng/mL. After 7 courses of the SOX regimen, the CEA level hadincreasedto 10.1 ng/mL, and the treatment schedule was changed to a regimen of paclitaxel plus ramucirumab(PTX/ RAM). However, grade 4 neutropenia was observed after the first treatment. Distal gastrectomy with D1+lymph node dissection was performedfor local control in September 2016. The post-operative pathological findings were ypT1b2ypN2M1, ypStage Ⅳ and the chemotherapeutic effect was grade 1a. A CT scan revealedregrowth of the paraaortic lymph node 3 months after the operation. Chemotherapy was administered with a combination of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin(CapeOX). At present, the patient is being treatedwith capecitabine monotherapy in the outpatient department with no signs of tumor regrowth.
