[Immunochemotherapy with tegafur and schizophyllan for stomach cancer--report of 2 cases].
Two cases of gastric cancer were treated with immunochemotherapy using Tegafur and Schizophyllan. In one case, a marked reduction in the size of metastatic liver tumor and disappearance of most subjective symptoms were observed. The response continued even 8 months after the initial treatment. In the other case, no marked symptoms except occasional dysphagis have been noted for 2 years and 2 months since diagnosis, although the primary tumor size has remained unchanged. Thus, it is presumed that the combined immunochemotherapy regimen may be useful in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer.
