title: [Two cases of unresectable pancreatic cancer responding to combined chemotherapy with cisplatin, PSK and UFT].
abstract: Two patients who had unresectable pancreatic cancer were treated with a combined chemotherapy using Cisplatin, PSK and UFT. A remarkable decrease of tumor size was observed on CT. These two cases corresponded to partial response (PR) according to the response criteria proposed by Koyama-Saitoh. No significant side effects were observed during this therapy. From the results in these two cases, this combination chemotherapy was considered to be one of the most effective antineoplastic therapies available for pancreatic cancer.
