Brain-Only Metastasis and 10-Year Survival after Curative Gastric Cancer Resection: A Case Report

We present a case of brain-only metastasis 2 years after curative GC surgery and chemotherapy, who visited the ER due to a headache. The patient underwent operative tumor resection of the brain with additional chemotherapy and is still alive and disease free 10 years after initial curative treatment. This case shows that brain-only metastasis may have a better prognosis than that of systemic metastasis; thus, aggressive treatment with radiotherapy or surgery with chemotherapy may be needed.Case Rep Oncol 2023;16:204 –209
