TMA is associated with a broad range of conditions and is also a well-described complication of both cancer and its treatment. Case Report: A 77-year-old Japanese woman underwent S-1 and cisplatin chemotherapy for treatment of advanced gastric cancer with multiple lymph node and liver metastases. She was found with severe anemia and thrombocytopenia during the third course of chemotherapy. She was diagnosed with TMA based on thrombocytopenia, schistocytosis, hemolytic anemia and renal dysfunction. She underwent treatment with plasmapheresis; however, her response to treatment was poor and died on day 16 of hospitalization. The autopsy performed revealed microthrombi in the glomeruli and tubulonecrosis in the kidneys. Conclusion: This is the first case report of TMA in association with the use of S-1 and cisplatin. Therapists have to take account of TMA when using S-1 and cisplatin treatment. ER -
