Abstract: Objective: To explore the cost-effectiveness of different chemothrapeutic schemes in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. Methods: 96 cases of gastric cancer were divided into three groups receiving different medication.A group(32 cases)with Do-cetaxel+Fluorouracil(5-FU)+Calcium folinate(CF)+Cisplatin(DDP);B group(30 cases)with Epirubicin+DDP+5-FU+CF; C group(34 cases)with Oxaliplatin+5-FU+CF.Date was evaluated using clinic economics cost-effectiveness analysis. Results: A-mong three groups,the effective rate of A group was 56.25% and expenditure of one therapeutic course was 9979 yuans,1% increase of effective rate 177.40 yuans.The effective rate of A group was 40.00% and expenditure of one therapeutic course was 4158 yuans, increase of 1% effective rate was costed 103.95yuans.The effective rate of C group was 52.94% and expenditure of one therapeutic course was 4498 yuans,1% increase of effective rate costed 84.96 yuans. Conclusion: C schemes is the most rational one among three chemotherapeutic programs for advanced gastric cancer.
