Abstract
A 61-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for Borrmann type 4 gastric cancer with complete obstruction of the body. She could not receive operation but chemotherapy because of multiple liver metastases, lymphnode metastases including paraaortic lymphnodes and peritoneal dissemination. As a result of 5times chemotherapy, multiple liver metastases and lymphnode metastases were partially remitted and obstruction of gastric body slightly improved, therefore an expandable metallic stent (EMS) was indwelt. She turned out to eat orally enough to be discharged from the hospital without complication related to the indwelt EMS. It is very important for the quality of life to indwell EMS actively even against gastric body stenosis.
