Phase II study of bolus 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin combined with weekly paclitaxel as first-line therapy for advanced gastric cancer.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) and capecitabine (CAP) have separately shown significant antitumor activity in a wide range of solid tumors. A phase I study was conducted in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of their combination in patients with refr...
