[A Case of Multidisciplinary Treatment for a Recurrent Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor of the Stomach].

The standard treatment for unresectable or recurrent gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST)is tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI). It is reported that resection of metastatic lesions after TKI administration prolongs progression free survival, but its influence on overall survival is not clarified. We experienced a case of GIST with peritoneal dissemination for which TKI administration and 2 local resections were effective. The patient was a man in his 70's. We started chemotherapy with imatinib for GIST with peritoneal dissemination. However, it was discontinued due to the occurrence of interstitial pneumonia. Dissemination was evaluated as radically resectable on the images. After the interstitial pneumonia was alleviated, surgery was performed. Although sunitinib was introduced at 2 months postoperatively, recurrent peritoneal dissemination was detected at 32 months postoperatively, and treatment was then changed to regorafenib. Regorafenib treatment reduced the tumor size; however, Grade 3 albuminuria was detected 16 months after treatment initiation and, thus, this treatment was discontinued. Subsequently, the tumor enlarged again. Because there was only 1 recurrent lesion, we performed radical resection. Postoperatively, a reduced dose of regorafenib was re-administered. At present, 9 months after the re-surgery, the patient is alive without recurrence.
