OBJECTIVE To examine the therapeutic effects and toxicity of high-dose-folinic acid plus a 5-fluorouracil(5-FU)bolus and continuous infusion with 5-FU combined with locally produced oxaliplatin(L-HOP)in treating advanced gastric carcinoma patients. METHODS Sixty-five patients with advanced gastric carcinoma were treated with high-dose-folinic acid plus a 5-FU bolus and a 48-h continuous infusion of 5-FU combined with oxaliplatin.The effects of treatment and toxicity were observed. RESULTS There were 4 complete responses,26 partial responses, 30 with no change and 5 with progressive disease.The overall effective response rate was 46.2%(30/65).The median duration was 7 months,with the main side effects including nausea and vomiting,peripheral phlebitis,alopecia,leukopenia,dental ulcers, peripheral neuritis and diarrhea.All the side effects were tolerated and minimal. CONCLUSION The results showed that high-dose folinic acid plus a 5-FU bolus and continuous infusion of 5-FU combined with oxaliplatin appears to be a safe and effective therapy for patients with advanced gastric carcinoma.This therapeutic regimen is of value for these patients.
