Recently, there are two reports about gemcitabine (GEM) + S-1 combination (GS)chemotherapy after surgical resection for patients with BTC. At Iwate Medical University, Takahara, et al., performed a phase I study using a regimen of repeating 28 days as 1 course. Patients received GEM on day 1 and day 15, and S-1 from day 1 to day 14. The recommended dose is 1,000 mg/m² of GEM and S-1 80 mg/m² after a pancreatoduodenectomy. The 2-year survival rate of the 34 patients that received the GS therapy was 78.6% (Cancer Chemother Pharmacol. 2012 May;69(5):1127-33). At Hiroshima University, a cycle of chemotherapy consisted of intravenous GEM of 700 mg/m² on day 1 and oral S-1 of 50 mg/m² for 7 consecutive days, followed by a 1-week break from chemotherapy (14days as 1 course). Fifty patients received GS therapy and had a significantly better 3-year survival rate (57%) compared with 53 cases of surgery alone (30%). The GS adjuvant chemotherapy was feasible and the adverse event was minimal (Ann Surg. 2009 Dec;250(6):950-6).
