Patients diagnosis with inoperable gastric cancers are treated with palliative chemotherapy. Palliative chemotherapy had proven to be better overall survivals and quality of life in unresectable advanced gastric cancer. NCCN guideline suggested two or three drug cytotoxic regimen as a first line therapy. But response rate of those regimens is about 50 percent. Disappointingly most of cases are about to experience progression of disease. Second line regimens of palliative chemotherapy are also have shown its efficacy and recommended within patients with better performance status. But There is still lack of evidences in gastric cancer patients second line chemotherapy. Several phase II trial those subjects are 2nd line palliative chemotherapy in gastric cancer had suggested that irinotecan, taxane, oxaliplatin, oral fluorouracil.Investigator assessed whether cisplatin in combination with paclitaxel would increase response rate in patient previously treated for advanced gastric cancer compared with FOFIRI regimen.

Enrollment
52
In FOLFIRI group, patients received irinotecan 180 mg/m2 and 5-fluorouracil 400mg/m2 intravenously bolus injection on days 1 and leucovorin 200mg/m2 for 2 hours and 5-fluorouracil 600mg/m2 for 22 hours intravenously infusion on day 2 of a 14-day cycle.
In DP group, patients received docetaxel 75 mg/m2 and cisplatin 75mg/m2 intravenously on days 1 of a 21-day cycle.
response rate
CT examination would be done at 7\~8 weeks after initiation of 1st cycle chemotherapeutic agent, After 2 cycle of chemotherapy in DP group and 3cyle of chemotherapy in FOFIRI group.
