Abstract

The patient was diagnosed to have gastric cancer (T3 N3 M0 P3, Stage IV b). We conducted LcFP therapy. CDDP, 7 mg/m2/day, day 1-5 i.v. drip for 2 hours, and 5-FU, 170 mg/m2/day, day 1-7, i.v. continuously for 24 hours. After 3 courses (one course: 4 LcFPs followed by one rest week), down staging (T3 N2 M0 P1. Stage IV a) and improvement of performance status were obtained, and then surgical resection was undertaken. After operation one course of LcFP therapy served as adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient has survived over one year and 8 months to date in a tumor-free condition. LcFP therapy promises to be useful in the clinical management of advanced gastric cancer.
