[A markedly effective combination therapy of 5'-DFUR and MMC in advanced gastric cancer--a case report]

We performed a combination therapy with two drugs, 5'-DFUR and MMC, which proved to be markedly effective in one patient. The patient was 73-year-old female with tumor, advanced cancer gastric lower third portion. Borrmann type 3, an poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Since the patient rejected an operation, the drug therapy was selected. Oral administration of 5'-DFUR 800 mg daily was combined with intermittent intravenous administration of mitomycin C. In 3 years, the cancerous site got scarred and no distant metastasis was observed. Presently, she feels well, receiving an outpatient treatment.
