Abstract
Twenty-one evaluable patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma were treated with a combination of continuous-infusion cisplatin (25 mg/m2/day X 3 days) and bolus 5-fluorouracil (400 mg/m2/day X 3 days). Toxicity was minimal. Seven patients (33%) responded. All responses were observed among the 16 previously untreated patients (44%) and lasted a median of 30 weeks. The results indicate the need for phase III trials of this treatment.Entities:
