Description
Toshinobu Hayashi leads a 2026 multicentre retrospective study of whether continuous pharmacist support keeps gastric cancer patients on full-dose S-1 chemotherapy after surgery. Records for 225 patients at twelve institutions compared ongoing pharmacist monitoring for at least half the treatment against less regular contact, with statistics adjusted for starting differences.
Completion of all eight cycles was nearly identical between groups, near fifty-four percent, and dose changes were equally common. Patients with continuous support, though, maintained a higher share of their planned dose over time. The benefit is about dose intensity rather than finishing, a distinction that matters when judging pharmacy services in cancer care.
