    Abstract:
    A case of AFP producing early gastric cancer successfully treated with a small dose of CDDP and 5-FU therapy administered intermittedly is reported with a review of the literature. A 63-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of liver metastasis with a high level of serum AFP (185.8 ng/ml) three months after gastrectomy. Systemic chemotherapy was performed twice with a regimen of CDDP 20 mg and 5-FU 750 mg/day in 5 days. After hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) was performed once, the patient obtained partial response according to CT scan and was discharged. After he underwent HAIC once as an outpatient, liver metastasis completely disappeared 5 months after surgery. He was administered oral 5-FU, 150 mg and Krestin 3.0 g/day and underwent HAIC with CDDP 20 mg and 5-FU 750 mg/day every 2 weeks. After serum AFP level was returned to the normal range 7 months after surgery; HAIC was performed every 4 weeks and continued until one year after surgery. One year and 11 months after surgery, serum AFP remains within the normal limit and there is no evidence of recurrence.
