要旨 切除不能進行胃癌に対する化学療法は,best supportive careとの比較試験によって生存期間の延長が証明されてきた.しかし,化学療法間の比較でも世界的に多くの比較試験が行われてきたが,現時点で国際的にコンセンサスの得られた標準的治療は存在せず,様々な5-FU based chemotherapyにより治療されているのが現状である.最近,irinotecan,経口のフッ化ピリミジン,taxaneさらにmolecular target agents等の高い抗腫瘍効果を示す新規抗癌剤が次々に開発され,これらは単剤または併用療法での第I相,第II相試験によりそれらの有効性が示されてきている.現在,わが国において4つの第III相比較試験が行われているが,これらの新規抗癌剤によりさらなる生存期間の延長と標準治療の確立が望まれる.
Chemotherapy for metastatic gastric cancer surely has a survival benefit compared with the best supportive care. In recent decades, some phase III trials have been conducted for metastatic gastric cancer all over the world. However, no chemotherapy regimen has shown a survival benefit due to 5-FU alone, and there is no standard treatment. Recently, not a few anti-tumor agents have been developed, including irinotecan, oral pyrimidines, Taxane, and molecular target agents. Many phase I and II trials conducted in the world have shown activity both as a single agent and as a combination therapy. At present, four phase III trials are underway in Japan. Some of the new regimens are expected to prolong survival and establish a standard treatment for metastatic gastric cancer.
