ABSTRACT
A 51-old-female patient was admitted because of dyspnea. This case was diagnosed inoperable advanced gastric cancer and pulmonary carcinomatous lymphangiosis. She was treated by combination of docetaxel (TXT) and TS-1. TXT (40 mg/m2) was administered on day 1, and TS-1 (80 mg/body/day) was then administered for 14 days followed by a 7-day interval as one course. After two courses of chemotherapy, carcinomatous lymphangiosis declined, tumor markers decreased, and dyspnea improved. Administration of oxygen was thus discontinued. No side effects appeared (hematological or non-hematological).
