A 75-year-old man with pancreatic body cancer underwent distal pancreatectomy and was treated with gemcitabine (GEM) as an adjuvant therapy. Multiple liver metastases appeared three months after the surgery. With GEM+S-1 combined chemotherapy, liver metastatic lesions became unidentifiable upon imaging 7 months later. Complete response status had continued as long as 13 months. Though grade 3 neutropenia appeared after 2 courses of the combined therapy, the patient well tolerated it after controlling the dosing schedule. The GEM+S-1 combined chemotherapy was expected to have synergistic effects for GEM monotherapy-refractive pancreatic cancer.
