A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of advanced gastric cancer associated with metastasis of the liver. He was treated with 300 mg/day of UFT-E from 18 days after total gastrectomy on July 14, 1997. The preoperative serum level of tumor marker, which had been increasing (CEA: 340 ng/ml, CA19-9: 9,094 U/ml), returned to the normal range 7 months after gastrectomy.
