[A Case of Multiple Liver Metastasis from Gastric Cancer Successfully Treated with CPT-11 as Third-Line Chemotherapy].
Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2016 November
A 63-year-old man underwent proximal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer(pT1bN0M0, pStage I A). Twenty months after surgery, abdominal CT scans revealed multiple liver metastases. S-1 plus CDDP therapy was administered as first-line chemotherapy. After treatment, CT scans revealed tumor progression and nab-PTX was administrated. This treatment was ineffective; therefore, CPT-11 was administrated as third-line chemotherapy. Treatment with CPT-11 resulted in marked tumor reduction and improved the QOL of the patient; partial response was maintained for 8 months. After 17 courses of CPT-11 treatment, tumor regrowth was detected, and the patient was treated with S-1 plus oxaliplatin, DTX, and ramucirumab. Subsequently, the patient died of cancer 31 months after tumor recurrence. CPT-11 is potentially a key drug for the prevention of liver metastasis of gastric cancer, and using all active agents in patients with advanced gastric cancer over several lines of therapy could prolong survival.
