Abstract

The current report presents a case of advanced gastric cancer with brain metastasis effectively treated by intra‑left gastric arterial and internal carotid arterial infusions of tegafur, epirubicin and lobaplatin. The patient was a 73‑year‑old male complaining of headache, nausea/emesis and discomfort in the upper abdomen for six months and was found to have advanced gastric cancer with brain metastasis. The patient was treated by intra‑left gastric arterial infusion of 800 mg tegafur, 20 mg epirubicin hydrochloride and 30 mg lobaplatin; and intra‑left internal carotid arterial infusion of 400 mg tegafur, 10 mg epirubicin hydrochloride and 20 mg lobaplatin. Following four cycles of intra‑arterial infusion chemotherapy, the patient's brain metastasis and discomfort in the upper abdomen had disappeared. The treatment appeared effective for advanced gastric cancer with brain metastasis. However, further investigation in a large‑sample study is required to confirm its validity.
