A case of pancreatic cancer with liver metastasis is reported, in which chemotherapy had a marked effect, with the responses clearly documented. The patient was a 59-year-old male who experienced epigastric pain in February 1985, upper gastrointestinal X-ray examination revealing extragastric compression by the pancreas. He visited the National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo, in April 1985 and the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer with liver metastasis was made using the imaging procedures of ultrasonography, computed tomograph scanning and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography as well as by biochemical and serological tests. At the time a 5 cm tumor was palpable in the middle upper abdomen. The patient was treated with Cis-diaminedichloro platinum, tegafur, and 5-fluorouracil, successively, and the abdominal tumor gradually diminished, finally becoming impalpable. The response was evaluated as one of partial responses (PR) by ultrasonography, and the improvement substantiated by computed tomography and tumor markers.

D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

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.
