| Abstract | PURPOSE: Fluoropyrimidine (F) and platinum (P) combination chemotherapy has been widely used for the first line treatment of advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Docetaxel (D) has shown promising activity in this disease. The present study retrospectively investigated the efficacy of D monotherapy as salvage chemotherapy for AGC that is failing F and P combination chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 34 patients, fitting the eligibility criteria, were included in this study. D was administered at a dose of 75 mg/m2 IV every 3 weeks, with dexamethasone prophylaxis. Twenty-nine patients had measurable lesions. The median treatment-free interval was 38.5 days, and 91.2% of patients had progressed within 4 months of withdrawal of the first line chemotherapy. RESULTS: A total of 133 cycles of D were administered, with a median of 3.5 (1~8) cycles. From an intention-to-treat analysis, 6 patients achieved partial responses (PR), with a response rate of 20.7% (95% CI, 6.0~35.4). The duration of objective PRs in these six were 2.3+, 2.5+, 2.9, 3.0+, 6.2 and 6.8 months, respectively. Six patients showed a stable disease, but 15 showed progression. The median time to progression was 4.2 months (95% CI, 2.8~5.5), with a median overall survival since the start of D monotherapy of 8.4 months (95% CI, 5.5~11.3). Grade 3/4 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia occurred in 12.9% of patients and 3.1% of cycles. The incidence of grade 3 or worse non-hematological toxicities were as follows; peripheral sensory neuropathy 9.7%, asthenia 3.2% and allergic reaction 2.7%. CONCLUSION: Docetaxel, 75 mg/m2, is active in AGC as second-line chemotherapy after failure of prior exposure to the F and P combination chemotherapy, with a favorable toxicity profile. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
