RESUMO
During the COVID 19 pandemic, the importance of global academia-industrial alliances has increased. It is hoped that the alliances will help us to solve the current problems caused by the pandemic. In this paper, we introduce the application of IT tools and communication skills utilized in a special educational project for an academia-industrial collaboration. Some concrete examples from 2020 are provided from the viewpoint of the national alliance project in Japan. A discussion is included that describes the plans available to increase and strengthen the national project in the future.

RESUMO
The case is a 75-year-old man, who underwent curative resection for the upper part of stomach cancer (Stage II), and was without a recurrence for two years. The patient had been well until September 2006, when CT examination revealed a 5 cm tumor in the rectovesical pouch. The tumor was histologically diagnosed as a peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer through CT-guided percutaneous needle biopsy. Chemotherapy with S-1 was initiated, but it resulted in progressive disease. To locally control the growing tumor and avoid rectal stenosis, irradiation was applied for a total of 56 Gy in December 2007 and then followed by chemotherapy with paclitaxel. He obtained a complete response 7-month later, and remains CR for 3 years by receiving paclitaxel chemotherapy. Although chemotherapy is of choice for gastric cancer recurrence, in some cases radiotherapy can play an important role in local control even in peritoneal metastasis.
