Dronabinol Versus Megestrol Acetate Versus Combination Therapy for Cancer-Associated Anorexia: A North Central Cancer Treatment Group Study

TL;DR: In the doses and schedules studied, megestrol acetate provided superior anorexia palliation among advanced cancer patients compared with dronabinol alone, and an improvement in quality of life (QOL) among megestro acetate-treated and combination-treated patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemical modulation of fluorouracil with leucovorin: confirmatory evidence of improved therapeutic efficacy in advanced colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: The regimen of 5FU plus low-dose leucovorin has now been shown to offer a statistically significant survival advantage versus 5FU alone and versus5FU plus high-dose MTX, a regimen that had shown promise in earlier trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Randomized comparison of two schedules of fluorouracil and leucovorin in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: Intensive-course 5FU plus low-dose leucovorin appears to have a superior therapeutic index compared with weekly 5FUplus high-doseLeucovOrin using the dosage administration schedules applied in this study based on similar therapeutic effectiveness, but lower financial cost, and less need for hospitalization to manage chemotherapy toxicity.
