Abstract: AIM: Department of Medical Oncology,Yijishan Hospital,Wannan Medical colleg, Wuhu 241001,Anhui ,ChinaMETHODS: A total of 43 patients with advanced gastric cancer were divided into two groups, 21 cases in Group A:raltitrexed 3 mg/m2 ivgtt;d1;oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 ivgtt,d1. 22 cases in Group B:leucovorin 200 mg/m2 ivgtt,d1-d5; fluorouracil 375 mg /m2 ivgtt,d1-d5; oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 ivgtt,d1. The two regimens were 21days as a cycle,and a total of six cycles was applied unless there was an evidence of disease progression or intolerance of treatment.The efficacy was evaluated after 3-cycle chemotherapy.RESULTS: In Group A and Group B,RR were 47.6% and 31.8% respectively(P=0.289),PFS were 9.8 and 6.6 months respectively(P=0.047). There were differences with the side-effects between the two groups on nausea,sickness and hand-foot syndrome(P<0.05).Other toxicities were similar.CONCLUSION: Compared with the treatment of oxaliplatin plus fluorouracil,oxaliplatin plus raltitrexed as first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer has a longer PFS,and the toxicity is well tolerated.
