A 52 year-old female was admitted to our hospital for lung cancer. We performed upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for her complaint of epigastralgia, and diagnosed Borrmann 2 type gastric cancer on the posterior wall of the angle. Chemotherapy with CDDP and VDS was commenced for lung cancer, and endoscopic Nd- YAG laser local hyperthermia (Laserthermia) was carried out for gastric cancer. Nd- YAG laser provided computer-controlled thermo-monitering system was irradiated in 3W, intermittently. Laserthermia could be applied safely to the clinical endoscopy. Conclusions were as follows; 1) Borrmann 2 type gastric cancer complicated with lung cancer was treated with laserthermia without severe complication. 2) This is the first report that the Laserthermia controlled by computer thermo-system was put in to clinical use. 3) Laserthermia with chemotherapy was more effective than laserthermia alone.
