[Combination chemotherapy with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP) and other anticancer agents for patients with advanced esophageal cancer].
Combination chemotherapy with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP) and other anticancer agents was performed in patients with advanced esophageal cancer. From July 1982 to September 1984, 16 patients were entered into this study and divided into two regimens. In regimen I, 5 patients were treated with a daily dose of 20 mg CDDP and 10 mg Peplomycin for five consecutive days and 10 mg Mitomycin C on the first day. This course was repeated 2 or 3 times every 4 weeks. As for evaluation, 1 PR (20%) and 4 NC (80%) were observed. In regimen II, nine patients were treated with daily doses of 25 mg CDDP and 2 mg Vindesine for 5 consecutive days, a course which was repeated every 4 weeks. As for evaluation, 1 CR (9%), 1 PR (9%), 4 MR (36%), 2NC (18%), and 3 PD (27%) were observed. Major side effects were renal failure, bone marrow suppression, nausea and vomiting, which were mostly transient. However, more severe bone marrow suppression was observed in regimen I composed with regimen II.
