Abstract

A 74-year-old woman underwent distal gastrectomy and D1+ α dissection for the treatment of gastric cancer (pT2a, pN2, H0, P0, M0, Stage IIIA) in February 2008. She was treated with adjuvant postoperative chemotherapy consisting of TS-1. However, 32 months after the operation, paraaortic lymph node recurrence was confirmed by computed tomography (CT). She was treated with combined TS-1 and cisplatin chemotherapy. After 14 courses, CT revealed that the paraaortic lymph node metastasis had disappeared, and a complete response was attained. The patient is currently disease-free, 6 years after the operation.

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.
