✦ Synopsis

Three patients with metastatic carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater received celiac artery infusion of 5-fluorouraci1, adriamycin, mitomycin-C, and streptozotocin followed by intravenous administration of the same combination. In two patients with measurable disease, one partial (6.0 months) and one complete response (16.0 + months) occurred. Two out of three patients remain alive at 30.0+ and 21.0+ months. Carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater may be a neoplasm responsive to combination chemotherapy.
