Abstract:
Management of gastric cancer in older adults is challenging. Perioperative treatment with epirubicin, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil combination chemotherapy and surgery is considered the standard treatment of locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. However, this chemotherapy regimen is not well tolerated in older adults. Here, we report a case of an older patient with locally advanced gastric cancer who was treated with modified FOLFOX-6 (oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil) regimen and achieved a complete pathological response.
