5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) plus cisplatin (C) can be considered a standard option for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Irinotecan (Ir) and docetaxel (D) are active agents with no complete cross-resistance with C and 5-FU. Concomitant combination of Ir or D with C and 5-FU is feasible, but with substantial toxicities. A different way to include all active agents in first-line treatment of AGC may be to use them sequentially. We aimed to evaluate the activity and the safety profile of sequential chemotherapy with 5-FU-based doublets with C, Ir and D in the first-line treatment of AGC.
