[Complete response in an elderly @entity1 with advanced XXXX treated with combined chemotherapy of TS-1 and CDDP].

@entity1 @entity137 @entity298 @entity5 @entity356
A 79-year-old male was diagnosed as having a scirrhous @entity5 . @entity298 was suspected on abdominal CT examination and the CA19-9 showed a high level of 95 U/ml. The @entity1 was treated with combined chemotherapy of TS-1 and CDDP. TS-1 (100 mg/day) was administered for 14 days followed by 14 days rest as one course. CDDP was administered in 24-h continuous intravenous infusion on day 8. This treatment was done every 4 weeks regularly. After 5 courses, X-ray and endoscopy examinations revealed disappearance of @entity5 in the stomach with an improvement in the extensibility. No @entity5 cell were confirmed by endoscopic biopsy, nor did a CT-scan detect @entity298 . The CA19-9 decreased within the normal limit. Ten months after chemotherapy was started, the @entity1 was very healthy without a recurrence of @entity5 . This combined chemotherapy has administered in 8 courses, and during this period no high grade @entity137 (WHO grade 3 or 4) occurred. This TS-1/CDDP chemotherapy was effective for scirrhous @entity356 and might be administered safely even for aged @entity1 .
