Sustained NC status for a long period after combined chemotherapy of TS-1 and CDDP for residual lesions following gastrectomy for gastric cancer
Abstract
A 71-year-old man with nausea and epigastralgia was referred to our hospital and was diagnosed with type 3 gastric cancer. Palliative resection was performed since radical surgery was impossible due to massive tumorous invasion to the retroperitoneum. Chemotherapy with TS-1 100 mg p.o. was started for the residual cancer lesions, with CDDP i.v. 50 mg added from the 3rd course. We did not find any remarkable side effects except for grade 1 loss of appetite. This chemotherapy was ended after the eighth course. The residual tumor did not disappear but did not grow, and a no change status was maintained for twelve months after the gastrectomy.
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.
