Brief Summary: Gastric cancer is the second most common neoplasm in the world Early diagnosis and surgical resection improve the survival and the chance of cure Unfortunately majority of cases are diagnosed at advanced stage with only 20 of the patients presenting with localized disease The five-year survival for gastric cancer of all stages remains at a dismal 8 Chemotherapy has been used for advanced gastric cancer but with unsatisfactory results Therefore new approaches are needed for these patients Among the newer chemotherapy regimens for advanced gastric cancer include a combination of oral 5-Fluoro-Uracil FU-based compound called CapecitabineXeloda and Oxaliplatin A few phase II studies suggest that the combination regimen is active with overall response rates ranging 30-40 Several preclinical and clinical studies have shown that the expression of cyclooxygenase enzyme IICOX-2 is upregulated in many pre-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions Furthermore there appears to be an association with the overexpression of Cox-2 and the invasiveness of cancer and prognosis Finally preclinical and clinical studies suggest selective Cox-2 inhibitors can induce apoptosis in gastric cancer cells and retard tumor progression Therefore there is a strong rationale for the combination of a selective Cox-2 inhibitor Celecoxib with Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin in a therapeutic phase II trial for patients with advanced or recurrent gastric cancer
