[A Resected Case of Long-Term Survival of Pancreatic Cancer with Simultaneous Multiple Lung Metastasis with Systemic Chemotherapy].

The patient was a 78-year-old man with resection of distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer with simultaneous multiple lung metastasis. They were papillary and tubular adenocarcinoma, Pt, TS3, infiltrative type, ly0, v0, pT3, CH0, DU0, S1, RP1, PV0, A1(Asp), PL0, OO0 and pN0, M1(PUL), pStage IV. He was received gemcitabine after the surgery. S-1 was added because of lung metastasis progression. Chemotherapy was continued for about 10 years from resection, and intra-abdominal recurrence was not observed and good performance status was maintained. 5-year survival rate of pancreatic cancer is as low as about 6.5%in Stage IV. There are cases where lung resection to isolated lung metastasis are performed after resection of pancreas and long-term-survival are obtained. A resected case of long-term-survival of pancreatic cancer with simultaneous multiple lung metastasis is rare, so we will report with a few literature considerations.
