Abstract

Purpose: Gastric cancers are one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are used in treatment alone or as combination. The aim of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the effectiveness of cisplatin, epirubicin, uracil- tegafur combination in gastric cancer.Material and Methods: A total of 20 patients were included who have histopatolagically proven gastric cancer with measurable metastasis by screening methods. Chemotherapy regimen consists of epirubicin 50mg/m2 1. day, cisplatin 60g/m2 1.day, uracil-tegafur 300mg/m2 2 weeks on, 1 weeks off in 3 weeks interval. Response rate, overall survival and toxicities were evaluated.Results: Twenty patients were included in the analysis ( 15 men, 5 women ,median age 55 years). Most common metastatic side was liver (%55). Totally 94 cycles chemotherapy were given which median cycles of five. Overall response rate was %25 and clinical benefit rate was %65. Overall survival and progression free survival was 8 months and 5 months respectively. Most common side effect were nausea and vomiting (%65), fatigue (%60) and anemia (%60).Conclusion: Epirubicin, cisplatin, uracil-tegafur combination has moderate effect in gastric cancer. Combination chemotherapy was well tolerated with acceptable side effect.

Özet

Amaç: Mide kanserleri tüm dünyada halen en sık görülen kanserler arasında yer almaktadır. Tedavisinde; cerrahi, radyoterapi ve kemoterapi tek başlarına veya kombine edilerek kullanılmaktadır. Çalışmamızda metastatik mide kanserinde sisplatin, epirubisin ve urasil-tegafur (UFT) kemoterapisinin etkinliğinin retrospektif değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Histopatolojik olarak kanıtlanmış mide kanseri ve görüntüleme yöntemleri ile ölçülebilir metastaz odakları olan 20 olgu çalışmaya alındı. Tedavi olarak epirubisin 50 mg/m2 1.gün ve sisplatin 60 mg/m2 1.gün, UFT 300 mg/m2 1-14 gün, 3 hafta arayla uygulandı. Cevap oranı, yaşam süresi ve yan etkiler değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Değerlendirmeye alınan 15'i (%75) erkek, 5'i (%25) kadının ortanca yaşı 55 yıl (sınırlar 34-65) idi. En sık metastaz bölgesi karaciğer idi (%55). Uygulanan toplam kemoterapi sayısı 94, ortanca kemoterapi sayısı beş idi. Toplam yanıt oranı %25, tedaviden klinik yararlanım oranıysa %65 olarak saptandı. Ortanca genel yaşam süresi 8 ay, progresyonsuz yaşam süresi 5 ay saptandı. En sık görülen yan etkiler bulantı-kusma (%65), halsizlik (%60) ve anemi idi (%60).Sonuç: Metastatik mide kanserinde epirubisin, sisplatin ve UFT kombinasyonu orta derece etkili bir tedavi rejimidir. Kombinasyon tedavisi olgular tarafından iyi tolere edildi, yan etkiler kabul edilebilir sınırlarda bulundu.
