From results of ACTS-GC,postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy,administration of S-1 for one year has become the standard for gastric cancer of Stage II and III except T1. We inspected problems of adjuvant chemotherapy by S-1 by dose rate, an adverse event,and compliance. For the period from July 2006 to December 2008,among 41 cases of stage II/stage III gastric cancer, S-1 was as started as adjuvant therapy by for 28 cases (68.3%). Among 14 cases (63.6%) considered able to complete S-1 treatment for one year, 7 cases (31.8%) had to have their dose reduced or their administration schedule changed. No adverse event of grade 3/4 was found, but cancellation or reduced dose was necessary due to anorexia, malaise, diarrhea, severe skin reaction, and leukopenia resulting from myelosuppression. Thirteen patients took no S-1, and two (4.9%) of them took UFT, while 11 cases (26.8%) became a no-treatment follow-up group for reasons of age, coexisting symptoms and other reasons. The problem in the future is to improve compliance, and to establish a treatment strategy for patients who do not meet administration criteria and for patients for whom continuation of drug administration is impossible.
