Tóm tắt

The aim of this study was to evaluate the response rate, time to progression (TTP), overall survival, and safety of the combination of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin in treatment of advanced gastric cancer (AGC). All the patients with advanced gastric cancer who were not received any prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy were treated with combination of capecitabine (1250 mg/m2 twice daily, days 1–14) plus oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2 as a 2-h intravenous infusion on day 1) every 3 weeks. Two cases of complete response (CR) and 34 cases of partial response (PR) were confirmed, giving an overall response rate of 52.9%, of the 68 patients with advanced gastric cancer. The median TTP and overall survival for all patients were 7.3 and 11.9 months, respectively. Grade 3 leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, nausea/vomiting, and diarrhea were observed in 3, 5, 1, and 4 patients, respectively. Yet, no grade 4 toxicity was observed. Capecitabine/oxaliplatin combination chemotherapy is active in patients with advanced gastric cancer.
