Diagnostic imaging of a 70-year-old woman revealed widespread lymph node swelling and pyloric stenosis due to alpha fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer. Second line chemotherapy of irinotecan and mitomycin C was administered after S-1 failure. After 6 courses of 2nd line chemotherapy, pyloric stenosis was improved, and lymph node swelling disappeared. This patient has been alive without disease for more than 3 years since 2nd line chemotherapy began and for more than 4 years since her first admittance to our hospital. Second line chemotherapy may have contributed to the favorable clinical outcome in this patient.
