[A case of liver metastasis of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma treated with S-1 and intra-arterial CDDP combination therapy].

A 55-year-old man underwent a pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy in August 2006 because of acinar cell carcinoma of the head of the pancreas. Since abdominal CT revealed multiple liver metastases, we started systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine (1,400 mg/body, day 1, 8, 15/q4w) in October 2006. At the beginning of this treatment, it seemed to be a stable disease, but CT revealed tumor progression in January 2007.
