Eighty-four patients with advanced gastric cancer treated in four centres in Scotland between June 1980 and December 1982 were reviewed following treatment with 5-fluorouracil, adriamycin and mitomycin-C (FAM). Eighty-one patients were evaluable. Twenty-eight patients (35 per cent) responded (four complete) with a median duration of response of 10.5 months and median survival of 17 months. Ten are still alive. Response was associated with an improvement in performance status. Eight patients (10 per cent) had stable disease with a median survival of 10 months. Forty-five (55 per cent) had progressive disease with a median survival of 4.5 months; one patient remains alive. Analysis of prognostic variables indicated that the presence of hepatic metastases had a negative influence on response to FAM (P less than 0.001). Treatment was well tolerated on an outpatient basis. FAM offers good palliative therapy in a proportion of patients with this disease, especially those without overt liver metastases.
