We report a case of N 3 gastric cancer successfully treated by TS-1 followed by curative resection. The patient was a 64-year-old male. Gastrointestinal endoscopic examination showed advanced gastric cancer. Examination by computed tomography revealed gastric cancer and swollen para-aortic lymph nodes. This patient was treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy with oral administration of TS-1 (120 mg/day, day 1-28 with 2 weeks rest). After 3 courses of TS-1, the primary lesion and swollen lymph nodes were remarkably reduced. This chemotherapy enabled pancreatoduodenectomy with D 3 lymph node dissection in curative resection. The pathological diagnosis was por, pT 2, pMP and pap, pT 1, pSM 2, pPM(-), pDM(-), pN 1, pStage II and curability A. This neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen seems to be an effective and promising therapy for patients with advanced gastric cancer.
