[Clinical Efficacy of mFOLFOX6 for Advanced Gastric Cancer].

FOLFOX therapy has been used for gastric cancer in Japan since 2017. We retrospectively analyzed the efficacy of FOLFOX therapy compared to that of FP. Forty-seven cases were evaluated between January 2010 and December 2018. Eighteen patients received mFOLFOX6 therapy, and 29 patients received FP therapy. The median time to treatment failure was 206 days in the mFOLFOX6 group and 58 days in the FP group. The response rate was 50% in the mFOLFOX6 group and 17% in the FP group. Neutropenia(56%), thrombocytopenia(50%), and peripheral neuropathy(56%)were the common adverse events in the mFOLFOX6 group, and leukopenia(69%)and neutropenia(69%)were the common adverse effects in the FP group. Based on our results, we conclude that, unlike FP, FOLFOX is an effective therapy for of gastric cancer.
