140 patients with advanced gastric cancer confirmed by pathology were treated by UFT (Uracil, FT-207) and mitomycin C (MMC) from Sept. 1985 to June 1987. All the patients received UFT #3 T. i. d. to a total dose of 30 g. Mitomycin C, 8-20 mg i. v. Q. wk was given to a total dose of 48-60 mg. Of the 140 patients, 65 had cancer of cardia, 36 cancer of gastric body, and 39 cancer of gastric antrum. There were 125 males and 15 females. The ages ranged from 30 to 80 years. In this series, CR was 10.0% and PR 44.3% with total remission rate of 54.3% (76/140). Thirty-four patients receiving UFT alone as control had a response rate of 26.5%. The response rate was higher in patients treated with UFTM than those with UFT alone. The median remission was 4 months. That main side effects were leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. The results showed that combination chemotherapy (UFTM) was valid in treating advanced gastric cancer.
