Abstract

A 60-year-old female who was diagnosed as gastric cancer underwent distal gastrectomy and received adjuvant chemotherapy (S-1 therapy). After 6 months, the tumor marker (CEA) was elevated. CT revealed para-aortic lymph nodes enlargement. Lymph node metastasis was confirmed. The patient was administered combination chemotherapy with irinotecan (CPT-11) and cisplatin (CDDP) Seven months later, CT revealed lymph node metastasis had disappeared. After judgment of complete response (CR), we continued the treatment for 22 months. The patient was followed without any recurrence in May 2010.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
