Investigations were made on the survivals of 81 patients with advanced gastric cancer. Of these, 55 patients were treated with a combination chemotherapy of mitomycin C, 5-fluorouracil, and cytosine arabinoside (i.e., MFC therapy). Another 26 cases were treated with immunochemotherapy of MFC plus OK-432, an immunotherapeutic agent. Fifty percent survival times were 5.4 months for the MFC group, and 7.5 months for the MFC plus OK-432 group. One year survival rates of each group were 13 and 35 percent, respectively. The two year survival was null for the MFC group, and 13 percent for the MFC plus OK-432 group. Statistical analysis revealed that the survival curve of the MFC plus OK-432 decreased more slowly as compared with that of the MFC (p less than 0.05). In other words, the patients treated with MFC plus OK-432 showed a significantly longer survivals compared to the patients treated with MFC alone. Some cases were also presented for the better understanding of the immunochemotherapy of MFC plus OK-432.
