A Patient with Gastric Cancer with Peritoneal Dissemination Who Survived for Five Years after Sequential Chemotherapy with S-1 Followed by Paclitaxel

A 76-year-old man complained of hematemesis and melena, and consulted the doctor. An endoscopic examination revealed type 3 advanced gastric cancer and a gastric ulcer with a visible vessel. We performed total gastrectomy with peritoneal metastasis dissection. After surgery, he received sequential chemotherapy with S-1 followed by paclitaxel. He continued the adjuvant chemotherapy without severe adverse events. He was treated successfully in spite of risk factors such as old age and postoperative body weight loss. We report herein a rare case of gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination who achieved 5- year survival after surgery along with the literature review.
