NCT00216034

Brief Summary

A randomized controlled study is conducted on patients with resected gastric cancer assigned to postoperative adjuvant therapy of TS-1 alone or PSK combined with TS-1, with the objective to examine or validate the outcome, QOL and prognostic factors (host and tumor factors), and explore the factors enhancing the antitumor effect of TS-1.
