Abstract:
Purpose:To evaluate the short-term effect of combination chemotherapy of oxaliplatin plus capecitabine on advanced cancer.Methods:32 patients of advanced gastric cancer were treated with oxaliplatin plus capecitabine for 76 weeks.Results:There were 6 CR, 16 PR, 8 NC, 2 PD, in our group and the overall response rate was 68.75% (22/32). The median alleviative time was 8 months, the median survival time was 12 months and the one-year survival rate was 55%. 30(93.75%) patients benefited from this method. The side effects were all tolerable which were alleviated by active therapy. There was no death and nobody stopped chemotherapy because of side effects.Conclusions:Combination chemotherapy of oxaliplatin plus capecitabine to treat advanced gastric cancers was certainly effective and tolerable to toxicities. This chemotherapy will be used as the first-line in more patients and is worthy of further study.[
