    Abstract:
    We report a case of postoperative liver metastasis from gastric cancer showing a remarkable response to weekly administration of paclitaxel (TXL). The patient was a 50-year-old woman who underwent total gastrectomy. One month later, liver metastasis and a small amount of ascites were detected by CT scan. Therefore, the patient was administered weekly TXL. TXL (80 mg/m2) was infused over 1 hour after short premedication on an outpatient basis. Administration was continued for 3 weeks followed by 1 week rest. Liver metastasis and ascites disappeared 3 months after administration. The toxic events were leukopenia (grade 1) and alopecia (grade 1). No major adverse effects were observed.
