We report a case in which TS-1 + paclitaxel (PTX) administration was effective for gastric cancer with malignant ascites. The patient was a 66-year-old male who received total gastrectomy, distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. He complained of abdominal fullness and ascites 18 months later.

[A clinical study of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with low-dose CDDP and 5-FU for liver metastases].

We followed patients who underwent hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with low-dose CDDP+5-FU for liver metastases from colorectal cancer in the outpatient setting. A catheter was inserted from the femoral artery into the proper hepatic artery using the interventional technique. Two complete response (CR) and seven partial response (PR) were achieved, but later 2 of these patients had lung metastases.
