Abstract
A 77-year-old man was diagnosed with gastric cancer with synchronous single liver metastasis and portal vein thrombus. His HER2 immunohistochemistry tumor score was 3+; therefore, we administered trastuzumab plus capecitabine plus cisplatin. After 2 courses of chemotherapy, we observed disappearance of the portal vein thrombus and tumor reduction as a partial response, according to the RECIST guidelines. We performed distal gastrectomy and right lobectomy; the therapeutic grades of the primary and metastatic tumors were 1a and 2, respectively. We administered postoperative chemotherapy, and no recurrent lesions have appeared 2 years after surgery. Multidisciplinary treatment for gastric cancer with liver metastasis might be a feasible and useful strategy.Entities:
