The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of S-1-based therapy versus non-S-1-based therapy in advanced gastric cancer (AGC) patients.Eligible studies stratifying objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs) in AGC patients were identified from Embase, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. The STATA package (version 11.0) was used to pool the data from the eligible studies.Fifteen studies with 2973 AGC cases, of which 1497 (50.4%) received S-1-based therapy and 1476 (49.6%) received non-S-1-based therapy, were identified in the meta-analysis. AGC patients who had received S-1-based therapy had a higher median OS, median PFS, and ORR than those who had received 5-fluorouracil (FU)-based therapy (OS: hazard ratio [HR] 0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.80-0.98, Pâ=â0.015; PFS: HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.80-0.98, Pâ=â0.016; ORR: OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.08-1.45, Pâ=â0.003, respectively). S-1-based therapy had similar efficacy to capecitabine-based therapy in terms of median OS (HR 1.14, 95% CI 0.91-1.41, Pâ=â0.253), median PFS (HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.82-1.25, Pâ=â0.927), and ORR (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.63-1.12, Pâ=â0.226). Subgroup analysis for grade 3 to 4 toxicity showed higher incidence of neutropenia (relative risk [RR]â=â0.827, Pâ=â0.006), nausea (RRâ=â0.808, Pâ=â0.040), and lower diarrhea (RRâ=â1.716, Pâ=â0.012) in 5-FU-based arm, and higher diarrhea (RRâ=â0.386, Pâ=â0.007) in capecitabine-based arm.S-1-based chemotherapy is favorable to AGC patients with better clinical benefit than 5-FU-based chemotherapy and with equivalent antitumor compare with capecitabine-based therapy.
