ABSTRACT
Twenty-five patients with residual tumour after resection of a primary gastric cancer were randomized to receive either 5-Fluorouracil or BCNU postoperatively or kept under close observation. Some patients receiving chemotherapy may have benefited by a delay in progression of their disease but this was short lived and subsequently all but one patient has died within a 4-year period of follow-up. There does not seem to be any advantage in treating patients who have residual gastric cancer with 5-FU and BCNU therapy.
