Chemotherapy of advanced gastric cancer
Abstract:
Twenty-eight patients with inoperable or metastatic gastric cancer were treated with combination chemotherapy using 5-fluorouracil, adriamycin and mitomycin-C (FAM). Twenty-one patients had measurable disease parameters and 57 per cent of these experienced a major regression of disease following chemotherapy. The median survival of the responding patients was 13.2 months compared with 6.8 months in the group who did not achieve a major response. These results demonstrate the sensitivity of gastric carcinoma to this drug combination.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
