چکیده
A 67-year-old woman with debilitation and massive ascites was admitted to our hospital and diagnosed with stage IV scirrhous gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination. After successful nasojejunal tube feeding because of oral intake disability, TS-1 combined with paclitaxel chemotherapy was selected. TS-1 at 80mg/m2 was given daily via nasojejunal tube for 2 weeks, followed by a 1-week rest, and paclitaxel at 50mg/m2 was administered intravenously on day 1 and 8. There were no serious side effects. After 4 cycles, a partial response was observed and percutaneous transesophageal gastrotubing (PTEG) was placed. After the fifth cycle, she was transferred to her home and received chemotherapy in an outpatient clinic. After 7 cycles, the disease progressed, and TS-1 combined with low-dose cisplatin was administered for 3 cycles. However, the patient died 16 weeks after discharge. PTEG was useful not only for a route of TS-1 administration, but also for receiving chemotherapy at home to maintain her quality.
