Brief Summary
The primary endpoint of this phase II trial is the objective tumor response rate. The secondary endpoints include treatment-related toxicity, the clinical benefit response defined by the change in performance status and body weight, the change in quality of life, progression free survival and overall survival. Simon's optimal two-stage design will be used to determine the patient number.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
The primary objective is to determine the tumor response rate of bi-weekly docetaxel plus 24-hour infusion of
high-dose 5-FU/leucovorin chemotherapy for patients with inoperable advanced gastric cancer.
Secondary Outcomes (5)
The rate of clinical benefit response defined by improvement in at least one of the 2 parameters
performance status and weight gain.
Toxicities of bi-weekly docetaxel plus 24-hour infusion of high-dose 5-FU/leucovorin chemotherapy
The patients'quality of life as evaluated by questionnaire interview Time to disease progression
Overall survival.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histologically proven and inoperable advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. 2.Bi-dimensionally measurable disease by physical examination or image study (roentgenogram or computed tomography scan). The index lesions should be at least 20 mm × 10 mm in size. 3.Age must be older than 18 and younger than 75 year-old. 4.Karnofsky performance status 60%. 5.Adequate bone marrow reserves, defined as white blood cell (WBC) 4,000/l, absolute neutrophil count (ANC)1,500/l, platelet 100,000/l. 6.Liver transaminases 2.5 times upper normal limit if no liver metastasis and 5 times upper normal limit if liver metastasis is present; total bilirubin 1.5 mg/dl; serum creatinine 1.5 mg/dl. 7.Serum triglyceride level 70 mg/dl. 8.Previous chemotherapy for metastatic disease is not allowed in this study. Previous adjuvant chemotherapy following curative gastrectomy is acceptable if the adjuvant chemotherapy has been completed for more than 6 months before enrollment into the present study. 9.Previous radiotherapy is allowed if the treatment was completed at least 4 weeks before the enrollment into this study. 10.Patients of childbearing age should have effective contraception during the study period. 11.All patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign and give written informed consent in accordance with institutional guidelines.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients who are receiving concurrent radiotherapy, chemotherapy or other experimental therapy. 2.Patients who refuse port-A catheter implantation. 3.Patients with brain or leptomeningeal metastases. 4.Patients who have significant cardiac arrhythmia or acute myocardial infarction within 6 months before entry. 5.Patients who have major systemic diseases that the attending physicians considered inappropriate for systemic chemotherapy. 6.Life expectancy less than 2 months. 7.Pregnant or nursing women may not participate. Women or men with reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method. 8.No other prior malignancy is allowed except for the following: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers, in situ cervical cancer, adequately treated stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in complete remission, or any cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for 5 years.
