Abstract

In the management of inoperable patients who have advanced gastric cancer, it is important to control an active tumor bleeding for the purpose of keeping the patient's quality of life well. We treated two patients: embolization with coil to aneurysm in the gastric tumor in one case, and embolization and chemoradiationtherapy with S-1 in the other. In results, we have never seen an active tumor bleeding and anemic state requiring a blood transfusion after the treatment. Both patients died from other diseases. We think these treatments are useful for patients with active bleeding in advanced gastric cancer.
