Three advanced gastric cancer patients successfully treated by combination therapy of docetaxel and TS-1
Abstract
We have experienced three gastric carcinoma cases successfully treated by the combination therapy of docetaxel and TS-1. Case 1: 66-year-old male with advanced gastric cancer invading the pancreas with metastasis to the liver and left neck lymph nodes. Case 2: 50-year-old female with scirrhous gastric carcinoma causing huge amount of malignant ascites. Case 3: 59-year-old male with recurrent gastric cancer of the remnant stomach presenting with obstruction and vessel involvement. Primary and metastatic diseases of these patients were remarkably improved with the combination therapy, indicating that the combination therapy of docetaxel and TS-1 can be a new therapeutic tool for advanced and recurrent gastric cancer patients.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
