| Research Abstract |
In order to improving prognosis of scirrhous type gastric cancer patients, we studied new endocrine therapy using LH-RH analogue (Zoladex). 1. Studies on inhibition of cancer cell line. It was found that the proliferation of the KATO-III cell line (estrogenreceptor-positivecell) was inhibited by 1x10^<-6>-10^<-7>M Zoladex with E_2. On the other hand, the proliferation of MKOI (ER negative cell) was not inhibited by 1x10^<-6>-10^<-7>M Zoladex with E_2. In nude mouse bearing xenograft tumor, Kato-III cells were inhibited by Zoladex. In patients with scirrhous-type gastric cancer, the levels of serum estrogen decreased after administration of Zoladex. However, it was not clear that the size of scirrhous-type gastric cancer decreased by Zoladex. In the present study, it can be concluded that Zoladex might be useful for the treatment of scirrhous-type gastric cacer.
