[A Case Report of Inoperable Gastric Cancer with Peritoneal Dissemination, Liver Metastasis, and Lung Metastasis Successfully Treated with Weekly Paclitaxel and Ramucirumab].

A 63-year-old man diagnosed with a perforated gastric ulcer and generalized peritonitis underwent surgical intervention. However, computed tomography(CT), esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD), and positron emission tomography-CT(PETCT) revealed an inoperable gastric cancer with liver and peritoneal metastases(cT4NxH1P1M0, cStage Ⅳ, for which he received S-1 and oxaliplatin chemotherapy[SOX therapy]). The patient underwent 10 SOX therapy cycles. Following the initial chemotherapy course, the peritoneal and liver metastases disappeared on radiographic images. However, lung metastasis was detected, and the patient initiated weekly paclitaxel(PTX)and ramucirumab(RAM)chemotherapy. After 4 treatment cycles, lung metastasis and gastric cancer disappeared.
