Abstract

Continuous infusion of 5-FU and low-dose CDDP infusion (low-dose FP therapy) is one of the effective combination chemotherapies for advanced and recurrent gastric cancer. Several studies have reported low-dose FP therapy showed high response rates (40-50%) and a low incidence of toxicities. There was a positive correlation between antitumor effect and survival time on neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer. It still may be necessary to improve quality of life by changing the regimen of low-dose FP therapy because patients require hospitalization for the therapy.
