[Evaluation of low-dose FP therapy as adjuvant therapy for gastric cancer].

In the present study, we demonstrate the result of low-dose FP treatment as an adjuvant therapy for 30 patients of stage II or more progressive gastric cancer. 5-FU and CDDP were injected intravenously for 10 days from day 1 through day 5, and day 8 through 12 for 2 weeks at a dose of 250 mg/body and 10 mg/body, or for 14 days at a dose of 250 mg/m2/day and 5 mg/m2/day, respectively. Patients were excluded if they received less than 80% of the respective doses in a course of treatment by the protocol.
