A Case of Gastric Cancer Underwent Two-Stage Gastrectomy after Chemotherapy-Induced Perforation
Abstract
A 70's man presenting with a chief complaint of stomachache was found to have advanced gastric cancer with a deep ulcer and some lymph-node metastases. We decided performing a curative operation after 2 courses of S-1 plus cisplatin. On the first course day 13 of chemotherapy, he complained of severe epigastralgia, and we diagnosed as generalized peritonitis due to perforation of gastric cancer. We performed an urgent laparoscopic operation, which made perforation simple closure and omentopexy. Curative distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection was successfully performed on postoperative day 16.
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.
