Cancerous pleural effusion and gastric cancer was diagnosed, and the chemotherapy consisted of S-1 + DOC was started for Stage IV gastric cancer. In 2009, lung cancer was found. The chemotherapy was changed to CDDP + CPT-11. This chemotherapy was effective for both lung and gastric cancers. Operation was performed for both tumors in 2010, and the pathological diagnosis revealed that gastric cancer was pStage I, Cur A, and the lung cancer was pStage IA, R0. Pathologic histology inspection of both tumors was judged to be effective for the chemotherapy prior to resection.
