• We described a case of advanced gastric cancer accompanied by metastasis to the periaortic lymph node. Two cycles of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisting of 5-FU and low-dose CDDP (FP therapy) were given. 5-FU (800mg/body/day) was administered as a continuous intravenous infusion for five days, and CDDP (10mg/body/day) was given as an intravenous infusion for an hour on days 1-5. The FP therapy resulted in a significant effect in the metastatic periaortic lymph node. Then, total gastrectomy with combined resection of spleen was done. Histological examination of the resected specimen revealed the histological effect showing Grade 3 in the primary site and Grade 2 in the periaortic lymph node. The patient is alive with no evidence of recurrence 13 months after operation. Thus, FP therapy is thought to be effective against advanced gastric cancer.
