Bone Marrow Metastasis, Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, Gastric Cancer
Conditions
Keywords
5-fluorouracil, docetaxel
Brief summary
A distinctive subtype of gastric adenocarcinoma with extensive bone marrow metastasis and DIC has been described. Few patients have been treated properly due to the lack of standard care. We designed this phase II study to evaluate a dose-dense regimen for this kind of highly aggressive gastric cancer (HAGC).
Detailed description
5-fluorouracil 200mg/square metre/day continuously venous infusion on days 1-21; Docetaxel 25mg/square metre, on days 1, 8 and 15; This regimen repeats every 4 weeks.
Interventions
200mg/square metre/day civ D1-D21
25mg/square metre ivdrip D1, D8, D15
