56Background: Double regimens are commonly accepted for AGC in East Asia. However, triple regimens are recommended in west countries. POF regimen (a modified DCF reported in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 ASCO) appeared to be of good efficacy and was well tolerated in patients with AGC. Intraperitoneal paclitaxel showed high local concentration in abdominal cavity and low systemic toxicity. The aims of this study were to find out if the triplet POF was more effective with manageable side effects and IP PAC in combination with FOLFOX had higher local control rate and manageable systemic toxicity than doublet FOLFOX in AGC. Methods: The patients with AGC were randomized to three group. The FOLFOX regimen consisted of oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, levoleucovorin 200 mg/m2, and 5-FU 400 mg/m2 bolus on day 1, then 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 continuous infusion over 46 hours. The POF regimen consisted of a 3-hour infusion of paclitaxel 135 mg/m2, followed by FOLFOX omitted 5-FU bolus. The IP PAC plus FOLFOX regimen consisted of paclitaxe...
