Abstract

The effectiveness of chemotherapy for metastatic gastric cancer has been already revealed. But a standard chemotherapy has not been established yet. New agents such as TS-1, CPT-11 and taxanes are improving the response rates and also the survivals for gastric cancer. Including these new drugs, several randomized phase III trials are ongoing in Japan. In the near future, the candidate for standard resume will be sent abroad. In this article, we described the current state of CPT-11 combined chemotherapy for gastric cancer. Among various CPT-11- combined chemotherapy, CPT-11 + TS-1 is the most effective and less toxic treatment.
