Abstract

Recently, the progress in chemotherapy has brought an improvement in the survival rate of patients with non-resectable digestive tract cancer. Simultaneously, maintenance of patients' QOL is regarded as important. In our hospital, we use low-dose FP therapy to maintain QOL and a satisfactory survival rate. To date, we have administered low-dose FP to more than 50 patients with non-resectable digestive cancer. We investigated patients who received home chemotherapy after being evaluated NC, and found no remarkable side effects as a result of this therapy during admission.
