[Five Patients with Gastric Metastasis from Breast Cancer-A Case Report].

Five patients with gastric metastasis from breast cancer were treated in our hospital. About the histopathological types of primary breast cancer, 4 patients were invasive ductal carcinomas and 1 was invasive lobular carcinoma. One patient was found by gastrointestinal fiberscopy for a detailed examination of her high CEA, 2 for stenosis, 1 for bleeding and 1 for epigastralgia. After the diagnosis of gastric metastasis, 2 patients were treated with chemotherapies, 1 with hormone therapy and 2 with palliative treatments. One of them was treated with gastroduodenal stenting for pyloric stenosis, but she was died by bleeding from gastric lesion. Based on the results, constriction and bleeding with gastric metastasis is considered to be severe condition in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
