[A Case of Improvement by SOX Therapy for DIC Caused by Gastric Cancer]

Disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC)has a poor prognosis in gastric cancer. The patient was a 78-year-old man. He had been diagnosed with Stage Ⅳ gastric cancer. Before chemotherapy, thrombocytopenia and elevated D-dimer occurred, and we diagnosed DIC. We started SOX therapy to treat gastric cancer with DIC. DIC improved on the 10th day after the onset of DIC. But developed DIC again on the 21st day. We started SOX therapy again. However, the DIC did not improve. The patient died 32 days after the initial DIC. Oxaliplatin regimen may be a potential treatment for DIC.
