Intensified bimonthly cisplatin with bolus 5-fluorouracil, continuous 5-fluorouracil and high-dose leucovorin (LV5FU2) in patients with advanced gastrointestinal carcinomas: A phase I dose-finding and pharmacokinetic study
Bamias, A. T.; Syrigos, K.; Fountzilas, George; Tzamakou, E.; Soulti, K.; Karavasilis, V.; Alamanos, Y. P.; Christodoulou, C.; Pavlidis, Nicholas (2004)5-Fluorouracil (5FU) and cisplatin are commonly used in the treatment of gastric cancer. Continuous 5FU appears to be more effective and less toxic than bolus administration, while increasing the dose intensity of cisplatin ...
