Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the side-effects and effectiveness of a new type of chemoradiotherapy treatment for patients who have had surgery for stomach cancer The treatment uses epirubicin cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil ECF chemotherapy together with radiotherapy
Detailed Description:
It has been shown recently in a study conducted in the USA INT0116 that postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy improves survival for patients with gastric cancer This treatment is relatively new and there remains debate regarding the optimal chemotherapy regimen and the optimal method of radiotherapy delivery This study will evaluate a new regimen of adjuvant chemoradiotherapy for gastric cancer that employs ECF chemotherapy as the systemic component given before and after concurrent chemoradiation with continuous infusional 5-fluorouracil Patients receive one cycle of ECF followed 28 days later by chemoradiotherapy to a radiation dose of 45 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks and then one month later two further cycles of ECF are given All patients are treated using multiple-field conformal radiation techniques
The specific objectives of the study are
To detail the acute toxicity associated with this treatment
To determine the feasibility of the proposed concurrent chemoradiation regimen
To determine the feasibility of a standardized technique for radiation treatment planning and delivery
The study will help to develop a common approach to the adjuvant treatment of gastric cancer which is required before initiating further clinical trials in gastric cancer
