    Abstract:
    The prognosis of patients with hepatic metastasis of gastric cancer is poor, and standard therapies for patients are not established. Here we present two cases of hepatic metastasis from gastric cancer. In both cases, no other organ metastasis except the liver was confirmed, in which hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with 5-FU, adriamycin and cisplatin (FAP) were performed because TS-1 chemotherapy was not an effective chemotherapy. Case 1: An 80-year-old man had distal gastrectomy for type 2 gastric cancer (Stage II) in January 2001. A liver S8 metastatic recurrence was discovered in the 18th month post operation. After chemotherapy with TS-1 for 5 courses, a hepatic arterial infusion treatment was performed for 7 courses. The effect was PR, but the treatment was canceled because of a catheter obstruction. The patient is living without recurrence. Case 2: This case was a 73-year-old man who had distal gastrectomy for type 0 IIc gastric cancer (Stage IA) in May 1999. Multiple hepatic metastases recurred in the 32nd month post operation. After chemotherapy with TS-1 for 2 courses, a hepatic arterial infusion treatment was performed for 10 courses. The effect was CR, but a peritoneal recurrence was discovered, and a systemic chemotherapy was performed. The patient is living without recrudescence of hepatic metastasis. The hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with FAP was effective for gastric cancer patients with liver metastasis because TS-1 chemotherapy was not an effective chemotherapy. It is necessary to consider combined chemotherapy in addition to systemic chemotherapy.
