Clinical Article
Gomez–Martin C et al. – A moderate incidence of Hand–foot syndrome (HFS) was reported in patients treated with capecitabine, which generally presented late and required dose reduction in <1/3 of patients. The results suggest that capecitabine may be useful in combination with standard fluorouracil–based regimens in patients with advanced and/or metastatic gastric cancer with favourable safety profile.
