Abstract

The patient was a 50-year-old man who underwent total gastrectomy twelve years ago. Ahigh level of ALP was found in the patient in April 2008. Based on various examinations, the diagnosis of multiple bone metastasis of gastric carcinoma accompanying disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC)was made. The patient was treated with S-1/CDDP. S-1(80mg/ m / / 2day)was administered for 14 days followed by a 7-day rest period, and a CDDP(20mg/m2)infusion was administered on days 1 and 8. After one course of treatment, the DIC was controlled, and the patient was given a one-year prognosis. The combination of S-1 and low-dose CDDP may be considered effective even for multiple bone metastases of gastric carcinoma with DIC.

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.
