[A Case of Preoperative Chemotherapy for Advanced Gastric Cancer, Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy, Pancreaticoduodenectomy, and Para-Aortic Lymph Node Dissection].

Bulky N+ gastric cancer has a poor prognosis. The results of JCOG0405 showed the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 plus cisplatin combination therapy for Bulky N+ gastric cancer. JLSSG0901 demonstrated the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery for advanced gastric cancer. But the safety of laparoscopic surgery for locally advanced and extensive nodal metastasis cancer(T4b, para-aortic lymph node metastasis)is not apparent. After DOS therapy, we performed total laparoscopic gastrectomy, DP(distal pancreatectomy), D2+ #16a2/b1 lat, and Roux-en-Y reconstruction, and histopathological results showed that the aortic lymph node metastasis disappeared. We controlled extensive lymph node metastasis using preoperative triplet chemotherapy. Laparoscopic surgery after preoperative chemotherapy for Bulky N+ gastric cancer can be a treatment option because we performed laparoscopic resection and para-aortic lymph node dissection with no complications, including pancreatic complications.
