| Abstract: | A case report on a long-term surviving patient with advancedgastric cancer with supraclavicular lymph node metastasis treatedby radiation and chemotherapy is presented. The Borrman type 2 of advanced gastric cancer was found on thegreater curvature of the antrum at the first radiological examination. Radiation was administered to the supraclavicular lymph nodeat 60 Gy and to the stomach at 64 Gy. The patient received mitomycinC (24 mg) and Tegafur (230 g). After completion of the combinedtherapy the endoscopy revealed an irregular mucosal change witherosion and hemorrhage. Radiological examination revealed atrophicand hyperplastic areas throughout the stomach. These findingslasted more than six years. The patient died of unknown causein February 1983. She had survived nine years and seven monthsafter her initial diagnosis. Radiotherapy may play a role asa means of radical treatment in certain cases of advanced gastriccancer. |
