One hundred nineteen patients with advanced gastric cancer were included in a study comparing EEP vs. FEM chemotherapy. The response rate was higher (30%) in patients on EEP than in those treated with FEM (p = 0.05). Severe leukopenia, anemia, alopecia and infection were significantly more frequent on EEP. In addition, because of its intrinsic toxicity, EEP chemotherapy has a negative impact on the performance status of patients treated with this regimen, more than half of whom presented at least one episode of severe symptomatic toxicity while on EEP chemotherapy. The median time to progression and median survival for EEP-FEM were 2.08-3.4 and 4.2-7.9 months, respectively. Our data do not support the use of EEP chemotherapy in patients with AGC.
