Abstrakt: 5-FU is a useful, fairly predictable drug for the palliation of advanced colonic carcinoma. When used with caution, subjective improvement can be expected in more than half the patients and objective remissions in a sixth to a quarter. Toxic side-effects can be kept to a minimum by evaluating the patient carefully before each dose of the drug. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
