xparts: capecitabine/cisplatin(xp) for recurrent gastric cancer

Conditions: Gastric Cancer

Summary: the aim of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of capecitabine/cisplatin for gastric cancer patients who relapsed after adjuvant chemotherapy by s-1.

s-1/cisplatin (sp) is one of the standard treatments of advanced gastric cancer. however, evidence of sp on gastric cancer recurrence after adjuvant therapy by the same drug (s-1) is not established. the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of capecitabine/cisplatin (xp) for gastric cancer patients who relapsed after adjuvant chemotherapy by s-1.
