[TS-1/CDDP/Lentinan combination chemotherapy for inoperable advanced gastric cancer].

It is reported that TS-1 administered orally shows a significant anti-neoplasm effect on advanced gastric cancer, and, furthermore, approximately 70% or greater effectiveness is reported for combination chemotherapy with cisplatin (CDDP). Lentinan is reported to extend the survival period in advanced cancer, and in combination with Tegafur. In the present study, combination chemotherapy with TS-1/CDDP/Lentinan was conducted for patients with inoperable advanced gastric cancer, and the validity, safety and resultant QOL of the treatment were evaluated.
