[A Case of Long-Term Survival of Metastatic and Recurrent Duodenal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Treated with Multimodality Managements].
Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2018 March
We hereby report a case of long-term survival of metastatic and recurrent duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST) treated with multimodality managements. A 59-year-old man was diagnosed with duodenal GIST and underwent surgical resection of a primary lesion of the duodenum. Since the pathological findings on mitotic rate indicated its high risk of recurrence, the systemic treatment by imatinib mesylate was given shortly after the surgery. Six months later, metastatic lesions being considered to be imatinib-resistant were observed in the remnant liver. Since there were no other drugs available for GISTs in clinic at that time, surgery of central bisegmentectomy with partial resection of the liver was performed to eliminate all metastatic lesions. However, recurrences had been repeatedly diagnosed afterward. In response to them, four more surgery for recurrent liver or peritoneal tumors, two transcatheter arterial chemoembolizations(TACE)and one radiofrequency ablation(RFA)were performed on the basis of its resectability. Sunitinib malate had been given since it was approved for imatinib-resistant GISTs in clinic. Eventually, as long as 99 months had passed since we observed the first evidence of the resistance to imatinib mesylate when he died from the GIST.
