Fifty-three patients received continuous infusion 5-FU. The overall response wa...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus colitis after administration of docetaxel-5-fluorouracil-cisplatin chemotherapy for locally advanced hypopharyngeal cancer.
We present the case of a patient with a locally advanced hypopharyngeal carcinoma who developed a severe cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis after his first chemotherapy course with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), docetaxel and cisplatin. The most probable cause of his CMV colitis is the impaired immunity during a phase of neutropenia after the chemotherapy. Although there was amelioration of the colitis and ...
متن کاملBeneficial effects of 5-Fluorouracil and heparin-based portal infusion chemotherapy combined with mitomycin C and cisplatin after curative resection of pancreatic cancer.
