[PMUE therapy (CDDP, MMC, UFT, etoposide) for advanced gastric cancer--a case report].
CDDP, MMC, UFT and Etoposide (PMUE)-combined therapy was given to a 62-year-old man with advanced gastric carcinoma. PMUE therapy consists of i.v. injection of CDDP 75 mg/m2 and MMC 10 mg/body on day 1, i.v. injection of Etoposide 50 mg/body on days 3, 4 and 5 and consecutive daily administration of UFT 400 mg/body, with 3 weeks as one course. He was admitted for Borrmann type 3 gastric carcinoma with multiple liver metastasis, lymph node metastases and peritoneal dissemination, the underwent total gastrectomy with R2 lymph node dissection. He was treated four times with this therapy after sensitivity test for carcinostatic agents (SDI test), which resulted in complete remission, as confirmed by CT scan and second-look operation. The patient has currently been free of disease, and we conclude that this PMUE therapy is extremely effective for advanced gastric carcinoma.
