AB A  72-year-old  Japanese  immigrant  was  brought  in  by  his  family  with  complaints  of  difficulty  eating,  vague  abdominal  pain,  and  weight  loss.  Endoscopy  and  biopsy  confirmed  gastric  adenocarcinoma  (Figure  62-1).  Liver  metastases  were  found  on  abdominal  CT.  The  family  and  the  patient  chose  only  comfort  measures,  and  the  patient  died  6  months  later.
