Abstract

A 62-year-old man suffering from advanced gastric cancer with multiple lung and liver metastasis was treated with FP (CDDP . 5-FU) therapy. As a result, lung metastasis disappeared completely and liver metastasis was significantly reduced in size (93%). Then, total gastrectomy, splenectomy and micro-wave-coagulation of the liver tumors were performed. Therefore, it can be said that FP therapy is an effective neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
