[A case of locally advanced pancreas cancer effectively treated by multidisciplinary strategy]

Abstract

A 64-year-old female with a primary complaint of abdominal and back pain was diagnosed as locoregionally advanced pancreas cancer. She underwent distal pancreatectomy and received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy of gemcitabine (GEM). Abdominal CT after 14 months showed a local recurrence without far organ metastasis. She was treated with radiation and the chemotherapy of S-1, which resulted in a stable control by a follow up CT. Then she is undergoing the combination chemotherapy of GEM and S-1. The patient is alive for 26 months after the operation.
