Abstract

A 67-year-old man with gallbladder cancer was treated by cholecystectomy and extrahepatic bile duct resection with regional lymph node dissection. At 10 months after surgery, CT demonstrated para-aortic lymph node recurrence. Single drug chemotherapy of UFT at 400 mg was started. After one month, the lymph node recurrence could not be detected by CT. UFT may be the primary candidate for chemotherapy for lymph node recurrence of gallbladder cancer.
