Abstract

There has been no standard treatment for gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination. We have used TS-1 followed by paclitaxel for advanced or recurrent gastric cancer patients with peritoneal dissemination since January 2002. Twenty-three patients were enrolled to our prospective study and 19 of 23 patients completed the protocol. There were less severe adverse events concerning paclitaxel despite of the second line therapy of TS-1, and 80 percent of all therapeutic courses was at an outpatient clinic. The median time to progression was 199 days. The median survival time was 363 days in all the enrolled patients, and was 436 days in 19 patients who completed the protocol. Chemotherapy using TS-1 followed by paclitaxel is considered to be safe and effective for gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination.
