� For resected gastric carc<strong>in</strong>oma, only f luoropyrimid<strong>in</strong>e/leucovor<strong>in</strong><br />

has been studied <strong>in</strong> conjunction with radiation therapy <strong>in</strong> a phase III<br />

sett<strong>in</strong>g (Intergroup 116). 1 However, many participat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>stitutions have developed chemotherapy variations <strong>in</strong> the context of phase II<br />

studies. Thus, many regimens <strong>in</strong>dicated below represent <strong>in</strong>stitutional preferences but they may not be superior to<br />

f luoropyrimid<strong>in</strong>e/leucovor<strong>in</strong>.<br />

� For metastatic gastric carc<strong>in</strong>oma: there have been only a few phase III trials (experimental arms be<strong>in</strong>g: ECF (Epirubic<strong>in</strong>/cisplat<strong>in</strong>/5-FU),<br />

DCF (Docetaxel/cisplat<strong>in</strong>/5-FU), and FOLFIRI (AIO regimen Infusional 5-FU/leucovor<strong>in</strong>/ir<strong>in</strong>otecan). The regimens <strong>in</strong>dicated below <strong>in</strong>clude<br />

<strong>in</strong>stitutional preferences <strong>in</strong> the context of phase II trials. The regimens not studied <strong>in</strong> the phase III sett<strong>in</strong>g may not be superior to DCF or<br />

ECF.<br />

� It should be noted that there is no established second-l<strong>in</strong>e therapy for advanced gastric cancer. Moreover, many regimens may be<br />

considered as reference regimens <strong>in</strong> the first-l<strong>in</strong>e sett<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
