Abstract:
New oral fluoropyrimidines,such as capecitabine and S-1,have been widely used for elderly patients with a certain efficiency and slight toxicity.Fluorouracil combined with platinum program probably enhances the effectiveness,but also increases the incidence of adverse reactions.There are a few clinical reports about triple-drug combination for elderly patients,but the toxicity is obvious and the efficacy is not certain.
