Case Reports[Stage IV Gastric Cancer with Positive Peritoneal Washing Cytology or Peritoneal Dissemination Was Successfully Treated with Gastrectomy and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy(HIPEC)Followed by Systemic Chemotherapy - A Report of Two Cases].
Survival of Stage IV gastric cancer is poor. We report 2 cases of Stage IV gastric cancer with positive peritoneal washing cytology or peritoneal dissemination that were successfully treated with gastrectomy and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy( HIPEC)followed by systemic chemotherapy. Case 1: A 59-year-old woman. ⋯ After the surgery, she underwent chemotherapy, 35 courses of combination S-1 plus PSK/DOC, and 13 courses of S-1 plus PSK. It has been 5 years since her surgery and she survives without exacerbation of the cancer. These cases suggest a gastrectomy and HIPEC followed by systemic chemotherapy may represent an effective treatment for advanced gastric cancer with a small amount of peritoneal metastasis.
