ABSTRACT
S-1 is an upgraded product of tegafur and UFT. Compared with 5-FU, it has stronger anticancer activity, and relative rare gastrointestinal adverse reaction. Many clinical studies have demonstrated S-1 has very good efficacy and safety in patients with advanced gastric cancer. The efficacy of single S-1 has been approved better than other available anti-cancer drugs in the treatment of gastric cancer, and similar to combination regimens such as cisplatin plus fluorouracil.
