We report a case with gastric cancer and lung metastasis,who responded remarkably to combination chemotherapy using S-1 and weekly CDDP. A 59-year-old man was hospitalized for aphagia. Based on upper GI endoscopy and CT,type 3 gastric cancer associated with lung metastases was diagnosed. Cardiac gastrectomy, D 1 dissection, intermittented small intestine were performed. At 18 days postoperatively,the patient was administered 3 courses of S-1 (100 mg/body, on day 1-21) and CDDP (30 mg/body, on day 8, 15, 22) every 5 weeks. The treatment resulted in the metastatic tumors in the lung disappearing after 1 course. No severe adverse effects were observed. This combination chemotherapy proved useful for treating lung metastasis from gastric cancer in this patient.
