Abstract

A 75-year-old man underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer. He had presented with epigastralgia in June 2008. Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed type 2 gastric cancer in the cardiac area. Enhanced abdominal CT scanning confirmed an enhanced mass in the cardiac area. Gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction was performed for residual gastric cancer. Histopathological findings revealed, pT3(SS), pN0, pH0, pP0, pStageIIA. Single-agent TS-1 therapy was chosen as adjuvant chemotherapy but was changed to TS-1+CDDP because of CT-detected recurrence 3 months after the second operation. After a 6 month course of chemotherapy, complete reduction of the tumor was obtained.
