Comparison of Combination Chemotherapy Regimens in Treating Patients With Advanced Stomach Cancer
Treatment
Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving drugs in different combinations and combining them with interferon alfa and G-CSF may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of different combination chemotherapy regimens in treating patients with advanced stomach cancer.
