The patient was a 71-year-old man whose chief complaints were staggering and fatigue. As a result of various examinations, he was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer, Borrmann 3, with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and bone metastases. The DIC was treated with oral administration of TS-1 (120 mg/day). Furthermore, both the primary gastric tumor and metastatic bone lesions were reduced in size by the treatment with TS-1. TS-1 appears to be an effective therapeutic agent for advanced gastric cancer with DIC or bone metastases.
