Long-Term Survival of a Patient with Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction with a Portal Vein Tumor Thrombosis Who Underwent Palliative Total Gastrectomy: A Case Report
Keyword(s):
Portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) with advanced gastric cancer is very rare; when it occurs, it exhibits aggressive growth and carries a poor prognosis. In addition, definitive treatment has not been established due to insufficient data. Herein, we report a case of PVTT associated with an adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction that was successfully controlled by means of a palliative total gastrectomy without surgical resection of the PVTT and administration of palliative continuous doxifluridine.
