[An unresectable gastric cancer radically resectable following UFT, ADM, MMC therapy].

A 58-year-old woman who was inoperable because of S3 (pancreas and colon) and P1 at the initial operation was treated with UFT, ADM and MMC at a dosage of 242.7 g, 418 mg and 166 mg, respectively. After the chemotherapy (2 years and 6 months from initial operation), a second look operation revealed that a tumor was localized in the submucosal layer and there were no lymph node metastases. Thus, it could be resected radically. Until now, various methods of chemotherapy for unresectable gastric cancer have been reported, and many cases of CR contained fluoropyrimidine derivates. In the case under study, combination chemotherapy containing UFT was performed with good results.
