A 60-year-old man who had suffered from epigastic pain and general malaise from November 1999 was admitted to our hospital due to Borrmann type 3 gastric cancer with ascites on December 7, 1999. We considered a radical B operation impossible, and placed the patient on neoadjuvant TS-1 chemotherapy consisting of 1 M tegafur, 0.4 M gimestat, and 1 M otastat potassium. There were no side effects other than Grade 1 nausea and mild loss of appetite throughout the chemotherapy. After 8 weeks of administration, the primary lesion was reduced in size, and ascitic fluid had disappeared on abdominal computed tomography images. Therefore, a total gastrectomy with splenectomy and D2 lymph node dissection was performed on March 31, 2000. This was a radical B operation that was not possible earlier. The pathological diagnosis was tub2, SE, N1, CY0, H0, P0, M0, INF gamma, ly1, v1, PM (-), DM (-) and the antitumor efficacy of TS-1 was Grade 2 histologically. The patient remains alive and in good condition with no relapse of the gastric cancer 8 months after surgery.
