Ninety-one patients with metastatic colorectal cancer were treated with continuous ambulatory 5-fluorouracil(5FU) infusion 250-300 mg/m2/day through a chronic indwelling central venous catheter. Twenty-six of the 91 patients (29%) had received previous bolus 5FU. Fifty-eight of the 91 patients (64%)
