Purpose:
We evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of S-1 in combination with cisplatin (CDDP) for patients with colorectal cancer.
Methods:
A total of 52 patients with advanced or recurrent colorectal cancer were included. S-1 was given orally twice daily for 21 days and CDDP 30 mg/m(2) on day 1 and 8, followed by a 2-week period of no treatment.
Results:
Tumor responses among patients included 18 PR, 12 SD, and 16 PD (n = 46). The overall response rate was 36.4% (18/46). The response rate of the patients with prior chemotherapy was 22.2% (4/18) and 50.0% (12/24) among the patients who had no prior therapy. The median survival periods were 555 days and the median progression free survival periods were 183 days, respectively. S-1 in combination with CDDP shows promising activity with acceptable toxicities against colorectal cancer.
Conclusions:
A combination of S-1 and CDDP could be a standard therapy for treating colorectal carcinoma.
