Abstract

The emergence of drug tegafur+gimeracil+oteracil (TGO) - oral fluoropyrimidine derivative - provided a new look on the treatment of patients with metastatic gastric cancer. Interest in the drug is confirmed by the mass of international studies that examined its effectiveness in combination with various drugs. Combination of TGO with cisplatin was found to be as effective as the 5-FU and cisplatin (difference in median overall and progression-free survival were not statistically significant) with much less significant toxicity. The best safety profile allows to consider this drug as a promising medicine for the treatment of patients.
