[A Successfully Treated Patient Who Underwent Esophageal Bypass Surgery after Undergoing Stent Placement for Unresectable Advanced Esophageal Cancer Stenosed after CRT].

Esophageal bypass surgery is a treatment for oral ingestion in cases of unresectable esophageal cancer with esophageal stricture. Esophageal bypass surgery may be necessary especially in cases of advanced esophageal stricture after CRT because of the high risk of bleeding and perforation due to esophageal stent placement. In recent years, as a safe technique with fewer complications, esophageal bypass surgery using a Y-shaped gastric tube has been increasingly performed.

[Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Early Gastric Cancer in a Patient with an Adachi Type Ⅵ Arterial Variant-A Case Study].

We report successfull aparoscopic distalgastrectomy in a patient with early gastric cancer and an Adachi type Ⅵ arterial variant. The case is a male in his 50's who was detected a type 0-Ⅱc lesion on the antrum of the stomach and diagnosed as tub2. Laparoscopic distalgastrectomy was performed, with the pathologic diagnosis of cT1bN0M0, cStage Ⅰ.

[A Case of Perforated Gastric Cancer Treated with Curative Resection Following Conservative Medical Management and Chemotherapy].

Perforated gastric cancer typically requires life-saving emergency surgery. However, preoperative diagnosis is difficult, the rate of radical resection is low, and the prognosis remains poor. Perforated gastric cancer is generally treated with 1- or 2- stage gastrectomy, but radical resection is rarely performed after a conservative medical management and chemotherapy for perforated gastric cancer.

[A Case of Advanced Gastric Cancer with Peritoneal Dissemination after Gastrectomy Effectively Treated with Combination Chemotherapy of Ramucirumab and Paclitaxel].

The REGARD and RAINBOW trials revealed the effectiveness of ramucirumab(RAM)for advanced gastric cancer patients who had been previously treated with chemotherapy. In the latest Japanese gastric cancer treatment guidelines, PAM plus paclitaxel(PTX)was positioned as a second-line chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer. We report a case of advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination after gastrectomy effectively treated with RAM plus PTX.
