چکیده
We present the first case report of a complete response of metastatic gastroesophageal cancer in a chronic hemodialysis patient with irinotecan-based chemotherapy. An elderly dialysis patient presented with diffuse liver metastases by a gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. He received combination chemotherapy with 5 fluorouracil and irinotecan. After six months of chemotherapy, liver scans show complete remission. The principles, practice, and experience of chemotherapy with irinotecan during dialysis are discussed.
