    Abstract:
    We report a case of gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination that was successfully treated with low-dose S-1 or capecitabine chemotherapy over a 5-year period. In September 2007, distal gastrectomy was performed for treating gastric cancer with synchronous peritoneal dissemination in a 78-year-old man. Combination chemotherapy of S-1 and CDDP was administered after the surgical procedure. Following the completion of 9 courses, this regimen was discontinued owing to adverse events; therefore, S-1 (40-50mg/body/day) or capecitabine (1,800 mg/body/day) chemotherapy was initiated. S-1 or capecitabine were orally administered for 2 weeks, followed by a 2-week or 1-week interval, respectively; this regimen was continued for over 5 years. The patient died in June 2013.
