[A case of recurrence after resection of stage IV advanced bile duct cancer responding well to S-1/cisplatin combination chemotherapy].
2007
: The patient was a 70-year-old man who in November 2000 had undergone pancreatoduodenectomy for a diagnosis of lower bile duct cancer by his previous physician. Left cervical and intra-abdominal lymph node enlargement were detected at 3 years 4 months postoperatively, and a biopsy resulted in a histopathological diagnosis of metastasis by bile duct cancer. Intravenous S-1,120 mg/body, on days 1-14, and CDDP, 20 mg/body, on day 14 was started in April 2004. It was conducted safely on an outpatient basis with no adverse events, and it was possible to achieve survival for 29 months. S-1/CDDP therapy seemed to be capable of serving as a useful treatment for gallbladder and bile duct cancer in the future.
