The patient was a 75-year-old man, who was diagnosed with type 3 gastric cancer with solitary liver metastasis whose diameter was 12 mm. Distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection was performed in June 2008. S-1 monotherapy (120 mg/day, day 1-28/42 days) for liver metastasis started as the first-line chemotherapy.

[A case of successful control of recurrent duodenal carcinoma receiving paclitaxel].

We have experienced a case of successful control of recurrent duodenal carcinoma receiving paclitaxel chemotherapy.

[A case of successful treatment using octreotide acetate for occlusive ileus in terminal stage cancer].

We report a 35-year-old female bearing ovarian cancer who was suffering from intestinal obstruction due to multiple recurrences. The treatment of 300 microg/day of octreotide acetate was started. The symptom of obstruction, such as vomiting and nausea, caused by intestinal obstruction was suddenly controlled and the quality of life was improved.

[Two cases of venous thrombosis occurred during systemic chemotherapy for colorectal cancer].

We reported two cases of venous thrombosis occurred during systemic chemotherapy for colorectal cancer.

[A case of left inguinal malignant lymphoma occurred after radical operation for gastric cancer and gastrointestinal stromal tumor].

In March 2005, a 70-year-old male patient underwent distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection for type 3 gastric cancer located in the lower-third of the stomach, and partial gastrectomy for submucosal tumor located in the upper- third of the stomach. A post operative pathological finding of cancer was T2N0P0H0M0 (f-Stage II) and that of submucosal tumor was gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Although the adjuvant chemotherapy of S-1 was administered, it was discontinued because of cerebral infarction.
