Abstract
|
|
|
|
Acute disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) associated with gastric cancer is not common and has short survival of 1 to 3 weeks. Systemic chemotherapy in spite of hematologic unstability for gastric cancer may prolong survival time. A 47-year-old woman who complained of dyspnea, vaginal bleeding and easy bruisibility was diagnosed to stage IV gastric cancer with acute disseminated intravascular coagulation based on the laboratory data. She also had multiple bone metastases and bone marrow involvement. This is the first case treated with combination chemotherapy of irinotecan and cisplatin for advanced gastric cancer complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation at the time of diagnosis. With systemic chemotherapy, some of the bleeding symptoms and the DIC process improved, even not completely recovered. However the patient died of disease progression and survival time was 12 weeks.
