Abstract

Background

There are few data on the efficacy of combination chemotherapy with a fluoropyrimidine plus cisplatin for patients with advanced or recurrent gastric cancer (AGC) complicated by peritoneal metastasis, especially massive ascites.

Methods

We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of a fluoropyrimidine (S-1 or capecitabine) plus cisplatin as first-line chemotherapy in 120 patients with AGC and peritoneal metastasis.

Results

Ascites was detected in 50 patients, with 11 patients having massive ascites. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of all patients was 6.1 and 15.9 months, respectively. The PFS and OS were shorter in patients with massive ascites (n = 11; 3.7 and 9.5 months) compared with patients with small or moderate ascites (n = 39; 5.8 and 13.5 months) or patients without ascites (n = 70; 6.9 and 18.1 months). The objective response in terms of ascites was similar whether ascites was massive (4 of 11 patients; 36.4%) or small or moderate (16 of 39 patients; 41%). The frequencies of grade 3 or higher toxicity or treatment discontinuation due to toxicity are relatively similar across ascites groups.

Conclusions

Fluoropyrimidine plus cisplatin appears to be tolerated in selected patients with peritoneal metastasis.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
