Description

<p>A 71-year-old man was diagnosed with swelling of the para-aortic lymph nodes on CT performed for evaluation of disc herniation. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed a type 2 tumor in the gastric antrum, and biopsy showed moderately to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient was diagnosed with clinical Stage IV gastric cancer with metastases to para-aortic lymph nodes (Nos. 16a2 lat, 16b1 lat). First line nivolumab (Nivo) plus tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil/oxaliplatin (SOX) therapy was administered. After 3 courses of immunochemotherapy, CT revealed shrinkage of almost all of the metastatic lymph nodes. Furthermore, EGD revealed that the primary tumor had become scarred, and biopsy showed non-neoplastic tissue. We judged that curative resection was possible, and distal gastrectomy D2 lymph node dissection, para-aortic lymph node dissection, and Billroth I reconstruction were performed. The patient was discharged 12 days after surgery without complications. The histological effect was complete response. Herein, we describe a patient with gastric cancer who was successfully treated with first line Nivo plus SOX therapy followed by conversion surgery who achieved a pathological complete response.</p>
