[A case of AFP-producing gastric carcinoma, in which liver metastases were eliminated successfully underwent total gastrectomy after chemotherapy].

: A 64-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for severe anemia, and a thorough examination revealed an AFP-producing gastric cancer with multiple liver metastases. He was treated with S-1, and liver metastases were reduced. However, the originalgastric tumor did not disappeare. We administered paclitaxelas second-line treatment, and CDDP/CPT-11 as thirdline treatment, intravenously. In August 2006, liver metastases were not detected, so he underwent total gastrectomy and lymph node dissection. The final stage was StageIB(mp, n0). He has had no recurrence as of 36 months postoperatively.
