Abstract

Immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)are widely used for the treatment of unresectable gastric cancer. We treated approximately 70 patients with ICIs. ICI treatment with pembrolizumab was administered for MSI-high cases and nivolumab for MSS cases in the second- or third-line chemotherapy. We observed 5 cases of complete response. Among these, 2 patients presented with liver metastases, 2 with peritoneal disseminations, and 1 with pulmonary metastasis. In 1 patient, the primary tumor invaded the diaphragm and descending aorta; whereas, in another patient the primary tumor invaded the pancreas and liver. All patients had progressive disease after first-line chemotherapy.
