Thirty-four patients with metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma were treated with the combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in a Phase II trial. Induction chemotherapy consisted of one cycle of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), adriamycin, and BCNU (FAB), followed in 4 weeks by a cycle of 5-FU, adriamycin and mitomycin-C (FAM). In responding and stable patients, consolidation radiotherapy to major sites of disease, followed by maintenance FAM, was administered. Twelve of 30 (40%) patients with measurable disease responded (3 complete responses and 9 partial responses), with a median response duration of 6.0 months. Toxicity was moderate and consisted of nausea, vomiting, and myelosuppression. No additive effects for this combined modality approach could be demonstrated.
