ABSTRACT: A 33-year-old woman had hematochezia for 5 months. A total colonoscopy showed an easily-bleeding elevated lesion with a nodular lesion in the lower rectum. Histological findings of a conventional biopsy from the lesion showed MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma and she was diagnosed as stage I. The monoclonality of B-cells was not detected by polymerase chain reaction products for immunoglobulin heavy chain. We selected antibiotic therapy because Helicobacter pylori was detected in culture of the patient's gastric biopsy specimens. The antibiotic therapy was successful, but her symptoms worsened. We therefore gave her with 30 Gy radiation therapy. She recovered a month after the radiation. Histological complete remission was confirmed 4 months after the radiation. Adverse events of the radiation therapy included anal pain for 1 month and premature ovarian failure. Radiation therapy may be useful for localized rectal MALT lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: A78-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with anorexia due to ascites. We were not able to diagnose by cytological diagnosis. For a definite diagnosis she underwent an open biopsy. Histological findings revealed observable papillary adenocarcinoma with psammoma body, carcinoma cells were positive for Ber-EP4 on immunostaining, and ovaries were normal. Thus, we made a diagnosis of peritoneal serous papillary adenocarcinoma. She was treated by intraperitoneal administration of CDDP(20 mg/day: day 1, every four weeks). Ascites vanished and CA125 was within the normal range. There was no recurrence after 3 years, but Virchow's lymph node metastasis occurred. The patient is still alive 12 months after metastasis with CDDP intraperitoneal administration.

ABSTRACT: A-46-year-old male with advanced-stage IV multicentric gastric cancer was treated with S-1/CDDP as neoadjuvant chemotherapy. S-1 (initially 100 mg/day, up to 120 mg/day) was orally administered for 3 weeks (day 1-21) followed by 1 drug-free week as a course, and CDDP (initially 60 mg/day, up to 100 mg/day) was administered by intravenous drip on day 8. After the fourth course, a significant tumor reduction was obtained and curative surgery was performed. Thereafter, S-1 therapy was continued. There has not been any recurrence for 19 months postoperatively.
