A case of gastric cancer with liver metastasis who responded well to low-dose PMUE (CDDP, MMC, UFT, etoposide) therapy is reported. A 65-year-old man underwent distal partial gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection under the diagnosis of type 5 gastric cancer with multiple liver metastases. Pathological findings revealed papillary adenocarcinoma in the primary lesion and metastatic lymph nodes (No. 8a). Low-dose PMUE therapy after resection of primary lesion was effective for the liver metastases. Exacerbation was suspected, so the lesions of metastases were resected again after 2 years and 11 months postoperative course. All 4 resected lesions of metastases became old fibrous tissue with hyalinization, and 2 of 4 lesions were necrotic and surrounded by fibrous connective tissue. None of these 4 lesions included viable cancer cells. The patient has now been followed with no evidence of exacerbation. It was suggested that low-dose PMUE therapy was effective for liver metastasis of gastric cancer, especially the differentiated type.
