Journal ArticleDOI

Randomised phase II evaluation of irinotecan plus high-dose 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (ILF) vs 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and etoposide (ELF) in untreated metastatic gastric cancer.

TL;DR: ILF provides a better response rate than ELF, and that ILF should be investigated further for the treatment of metastatic gastric cancer, the data from this randomised phase II study indicate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neoadjuvant Treatment with Weekly High-Dose 5-Fluorouracil as 24-Hour Infusion, Folinic Acid and Oxaliplatin in Patients with Primary Resectable Liver Metastases of Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: The neoadjuvant treatment with weekly high-dose 5-FU in the form of a 24-hour infusion combined with FA and L-OHP is very effective and well tolerated and Surgical morbidity does not appear to be increased by the neoadJuvant treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of surgery on survival in palliative patients with metastatic colorectal cancer after first line treatment with weekly 24-hour infusion of high-dose 5-fluorouracil and folinic acid

TL;DR: It is shown prospectively that, after downstaging by palliative treatment using a weekly 24-h infusion of high-dose 5-FU and folinic acid, secondary curative metastatic resection was technically feasible in 11% of the patients and long-term survival is therefore possible.
