Weekly Intravenous and Intraperitoneal Paclitaxel Combined with S-1 for Malignant Ascites due to Advanced Gastric Cancer

Abstract: Malignant ascites caused by gastric cancer are chemotherapy resistant and carry a poor prognosis. The efficacy of a regimen including intraperitoneal paclitaxel (PTX) was evaluated in 33 gastric cancer patients with ascetic fluid in the peritoneal cavity diagnosed with computed tomography (CT) scanning. Synchronous administration of intravenous (50 mg/m2) and intraperitoneal (20 mg/m2) PTX was performed via a subcutaneously placed intraperitoneal catheter on days 1 and 8, and S-1 was admi… Show more

“…In our study, the CA125 response showed an excellent correlation with the reduction of ascites and overall survival. We previously showed that the change in ascitic fluid volume was a useful predictor of the outcome of intraperitoneal chemotherapy in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal dissemination [25]. This finding is compatible with the finding that the CA125 response correlates with both reduction of ascites and longer survival.…”

“…Median survival time for patients with peritoneal dissemination after surgery is reported to be ~10 months (2). Therefore, various new treatments have been developed for gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination, including systemic chemotherapy, intraperitoneal chemotherapy and/or hyperthermia, and surgery with extended dissection of lymph nodes or other organs (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). To date, however, the results of these therapies have been unsatisfactory.…”

“…Peritoneal dissemination is common in patients with AGC, approximately 40% of whom exhibit ascites as a clinical symptom. 15,16 To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to investigate the effectiveness of FTD/TPI in AGC patients with ascites. We found significant differences in OS and DCR between patients with and without ascites.…”
