ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effect and adverse reaction of paclitaxel liposome combined with continuous infusion of large-dose 5-fluorouracil(5-fu) in treatment for advance gastric cancer(AGC). MethodsFrom May 2009 to August 2012, 63 consecutive patients with AGC in this hospital were enrolled in this study. All the patients were given chemotherapy including paclitaxel liposome and continuous infusion of large-dose(2.5 g/m2) 5-fu. The efficacy and toxicity of this regimen were observed. ResultsThere was no patient who could not tolerate adverse reaction related to such regimen. Five cases achieved complete response and 31 cases achieved partial response, the overall response rate was 57.1%(36/63). Hematologic toxicity included gradeⅢ/Ⅳleucopenia 8 cases(12.7%) and neutropenia 10 cases(15.9%), while there was no occurrence of gradeⅢ/Ⅳanemia or thrombopenia. Non-hematologic toxicity was fairly mild. ConclusionsPaclitaxel liposome is safe, well tolerated, highly targeted, and has long duration of effect. Paclitaxel liposome combined with continuous infusion of large-dose 5-fu is safe and effective in treatment for patients with AGC.
