Feasibility and potential benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 in patients with curative resected advanced biliary tract cancer: A multicenter trial.

e15179 Background: S-1 chemotherapy is reported to be effective for treating metastatic and unresectable biliary tract cancer (BTC). We assessed the safety and feasibility of adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy in patients with curative resected advanced BTC. Methods: Patients with pathological stage II, III, or IVa BTC (according to JSBS) who underwent radical resection received oral S-1 (80 mg/m2/day) for 2 consecutive weeks every 3 weeks (1 cycle). Patients were aged 20–80 years, had a performance status of <1, and provided informed consent. The treatment was repeated until 1 year after surgery. The primary endpoint was feasibility of the adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1. The secondary endpoints were safety, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: We enrolled 40 patients, but 5 patients were excluded on the basis of eligibility criteria (4 patients) or no drug administration (1 patient). We analyzed data from 35 patients (29 men and 6 women with a median age of 68 years) between January 20...
