[A Case of Juvenile AFP-Producing Gastric Cancer with Virchow Lymph Node Metastasis Achieved Long-Term Survival with Multimodal Therapy].

A 25-year-old male received palliative total gastrectomy plus D1 dissection plus Roux-en-Y reconstruction for hemorrhagic gastric cancer with left Virchow lymph node metastasis in 2013. The final diagnosis was Type 2, pT4a(se), pap>tub2 >hepatoid adenocarcinoma, pN3b, sM1, fStage Ⅳ. Because AFP was as high as 11,000 ng/mL, he was diagnosed with AFP-producing gastric cancer and started S-1 plus CDDP therapy. Left adrenal gland metastasis and #106pre, #16b1int lymph node metastasis were observed after 9 courses, and the therapy was changed to irinotecan plus CDDP therapy. After 17 courses, the patient was diagnosed with CR, and the drug was discontinued. Recurrence of the left adrenal gland and an increase in AFP were confirmed by CT after 8 months of suspension, and the drug was resumed. After 8 courses of resumption, PET-CT showed mediastinal and #16b1lat lymph node metastasis and changed to weekly PTX plus Ram therapy. After 2 courses, enlargement of lymph nodes and elevation of AFP was observed, and CapeOX therapy was changed. Diagnosis of left adrenal metastasis recurrence by PET-CT after 21 courses. Nivolumab was used, and radiotherapy(total 39 Gy)was performed locally. After the continuation of nivolumab for 3 years, no findings of recurrent metastasis were observed on imaging, and it was judged as CR, and nivolumab was terminated. As of June 2023, he is alive without recurrence. AFP-producing gastric cancer in the young is rare, and no cases with Virchow metastasis or para-aortic lymph node metastasis have been reported. We report a case of long-term survival in which CR was obtained with combined modality therapy.
