ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To compare with the efficacy in the immediate effects and toxicities on patients with advanced gastric cancer treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV) combined with oxaliplatin or paclitaxel.Methods:
Forty patients with advanced gastric cancer, whose metastases to organs or sites included liver, lymphy node, abdominal cavity, abdominal wall, etc, were enrolled in this study, and was randomly divided into two groups (A and B groups). The A group of 20 patients (70% of them were retreated patients) were treated with a combination of oxaliplatin, leucovorin(LV) and 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) continuous infusion regimen. The B group of 20 patients (55% of them were retreated patients) were treated with a combination of paclitaxel, leucovorin (LV) and 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) continuous infusion regimen.Results:
Of the 40 evaluable patients, there were two complete responses and seven partial responses (response rate 45%) in the A group, and nine partial responses (response rate 45%) in the B group. All patients were evaluable for toxicities. The most common toxicities were bone marrow depression,peripheral neuropathy,digestive tract toxicities and liver function damage in the A group. The most common toxicities were bone marrow depression and liver function damage in the B group.Conclusions:
These two regimens (5-fluorouracil and lcucovorin combined with oxaliplatin or paclitaxel) showed good efficacy and acceptable toxicities in advanced gastric cancer patients, and the 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin combined with oxaliplatin regimen may have some virtues, such as economics, convenience of medication and less serious toxicities.[
