[A Case of Taxane-Pretreated Metastatic Gastric Cancer with Excellent Response to Nab-Paclitaxel].

We present a rare case of taxane-pretreated metastatic gastric cancer with an excellent response to nab-paclitaxel. A 66- year-old woman was diagnosed with Stage Ⅳ gastric adenocarcinoma (T4aN3M1[LYM, OTH]P1CY1). She failed to respond to multiple chemotherapeutic regimens including S-1, capecitabine, cisplatin, L-OHP, paclitaxel, docetaxel, and CPT- 11. Finally, 6th line chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel was tried. After 4 courses of nab-paclitaxel, a CT scan revealed decreasing ascites and a reduction in the size of the ovary metastasis. She experienced a clinical response for about 4 months. The adverse events were only Grade 1 peripheral sensory neuropathy and joint pain, and her performance status improved during the treatment period.
