title: [Combination chemotherapy of CIS-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) and fluoropyrimidine derivatives for advanced gastric cancer: a preliminary report].
abstract: A total of thirteen patients with histologically-proved adenocarcinoma of stomach took part in this study at Saitama Cancer Center between July 1982 and September 1983; nine patients were considered evaluable. There were 7 male and 2 female patients with a median age of 52 yrs (range 42-75) and a median performance status of 3 (range 2-4). Patients were treated with a two drug combination of cis-diammine dichloroplatinum (II) and fluoropyrimidine derivatives (tegafur, cormobur ). Three out of 9 evaluable patients (33.3%) had a partial response which lasted 10 months. 6+ months, and 5+ months, respectively. The major toxic effect was a gastrointestinal symptom which was generally manageable. Myelosuppression was mild.
