Successful chemotherapy management of disseminated intravascular coagulation presenting with metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a critical complication of advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma, despite the rarity of the occurrence of disseminated intravascular coagulation in such tumors. The diagnosis of cancer-related disseminated intravascular coagulation is mostly based on clinical bleeding and laboratory test; available data suggest that treating the primary cancer also treats the disseminated intravascular coagulation. Among three reported cases of renal cell carcinoma-related disseminated intravascular coagulation in the literature, this is the first patient whose disseminated intravascular coagulation was successfully treated, in particular, with chemotherapy without any anti-disseminated intravascular coagulation therapies.

Introduction: In advanced gastric cancer, preoperative chemotherapy is associated with survival benefit. FOLFIRI has demonstrated promising results in terms of survival and tolerance, especially in patients with poor performance status.

Case Presentation: A 59-year-old male, diagnosed with pT4bN2M0 gastric cancer, underwent gastrointestinal anastomosis and three cycles of EOX chemotherapy.
