A 35-year-old woman tuffering from gastric cancer associated with disseminated carcinomatosis of the bone marrow is reported. Total gastrectomy combined with splenectomy and distal pancreatectomy was performed. The patient was treated with mitomycin C, FT-207, OK-432, and PSK. But serum ALP (alkaline phosphatase) and CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) values showed gradual elevations followed by deterioration of the patient's general condition. Consequently, chemotherapy program consisting of 5-fluorouracil, Adriamycin (intra-arterially), and cisplatin (intravenously) was initiated. Serum CEA and ALP values were considerably improved, and patient was restored to a better condition. She survived 17 months and died of disseminated intravascular coagulation.
