If there is no history of surgery No previous chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer. However, irradiation for the pain caused by bone metastases is allowed. ii. If there is a history of surgery No previous chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer. However, irradiation for the pain caused by bone metastases is allowed. a) Recurrence after radical surgery Preoperative or postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 alone is allowed. More than 24 weeks (168 days) from the last date of the oral S-1 administration to recurrence b) The palliative surgery for unresectable cases More than two weeks after surgery Postoperative complications has improved Do not allow the neoadjuvant chemotherapy c) Exploratory laparotomy, bypass surgery, etc. for unresectable cases. 4) Massive pericardial effusion, pleural effusion or ascites*. *except for patients if effusions and ascites did no accumulate for more than two weeks after drainage therapy. *include patients if pleurosclerosis was performed with anti-cancer drugs except OK-432. 5) Symptomatic brain metastases or carcinomatous meningitis. 6) Her2 negative+ *HER2 IHC 0, 1+, or IHC 2+ and FISH negative 7) Measurable or evaluable lesion* *Distant metastasis difficult to point out with CT, such as peritoneal dissemination which can be pointed out only by laparoscopic examination, is not regarded as an evaluable lesion. In this case, however, it shall be qualified if it has a primary tumor or a regional lymph node metastasis that can be evaluated by CT. 8) Adequate oral intake and able to take oral medication 9) 70 years old or older 10) ECOG performance status 0-2. 11) Adequate bone marrow and organ function as defined as below: neutrophil count >=1500/mm3 hemoglobin level >= 8.0 g/dL platelet count >= 100,000/mm3 AST and ALT =30mL/min *Estimate by Cockcroft-Gault formula.
