| Abstract: | An advanced gastric cancer with liver metastasis was treated with the combination MMC, Etoposide and UFT. Etoposide was administered orally at 25-50 mg/day to the gastric cancer patient with liver metastasis. In operative findings, there was no liver and lymphoid node metastasis. The gastric tumor diminished in size and changed its characteristics due to the chemotherapy. In 19 months, no liver nor LN metastasis was observed by CT scan. Presently, the patient feels well and receives outpatient treatment. |
