[A case report of curative resection for gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination successfully treated by combined chemotherapy of S-1 and paclitaxel].

The patient was a 54-year-old female with gastric cancer. As laparotomy showed diffuse peritoneal dissemination, only laparotomy was performed and chemotherapy was conducted with a combination of S-1 80 mg/m(2) (2 weeks administration and 1 week rest) and paclitaxel (PTX) 50 mg/m(2) (day 1, 8). After 5 courses of this regimen, endoscopy showed the tumor was reduced in size and PET-CT revealed no evidence of metastasis.
