A 52-year-old woman was diagnosed to have IIc+IIa-like advanced gastric carcinoma in the upper stomach by X-ray and endoscopic examination with biopsy. CT scan revealed swelling of the para-aortic lymph nodes which was taken to be evidence of metastases of the gastric carcinoma. The patient was considered to have surgically non-curative gastric carcinoma (Stage IV), and preoperative chemotherapy was initiated. The regimen consisted of CDDP 50 mg (day 1-2, drip), 5-FU 750 mg (day 2-7, drip) and UFT 400 mg (from day 8 to the day before operation, oral). About one month after initiating treatment, total gastrectomy with lymph node dissection was performed. Histopathological examination of the section of the primary tumor revealed that only a few cancer cell nests (poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma) remained in the muscle and subserosal layer. In all of the lymph nodes which were suspected to have metastases preoperatively, cancer cells completely degenerated into mucinous lakes or foam cell nests. No liver metastasis nor peritoneal dissemination was detected, and this case was judged to be stage II after chemotherapy.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
