Abstract
Method: Patients with measurable advanced gastric cancer, refractory to prior chemotherapy were eligible for study. Cisplatin 20mg/m^2/d, 5-FU 800mg/m^2/d and leucovorin 90mg/m^2/d were administered simultaneously by continuous 96-hour intravenous infusion every three weeks. Patients were evaluated for response, survival, and toxicity.
Results: Twenty patients were studied. Fifteen patients were evaluable. There were no complete response. Partial response was achieved in 4 patients. The response rate of PFL chemotherapy were 27%. The overall toxicity was tolerable. Mucositis and leukopenia were the major toxicities. No grade IV toxicities or treatment-related deaths occurred.
Conclusions: PEL chemotherpy is safe and may be effective in the treatment of refractory gastric cancer patients. Further clinical studies of PFL in gastric cancer may be indicated.

N2 - Background: Patients with advanced gastric cancer who failed first line chemotherapy have a poor prognosis. However, there are few effective treatments against refractory gastric cancer. Based on encouraging results of cisplatin, 5-Fluorouracil and leucovorin (PFL) in patients with gastric cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer and other cancers, we conducted this pilot study of test PEL chemotherapy in patients with refractory advanced gastric cancer.Method: Patients with measurable advanced gastric cancer, refractory to prior chemotherapy were eligible for study.
