## Background: The combination of uracil and tegafur in a 4:1 molar concentration (uft) has a greater antitumor activity than 5-fluorouracil (5-fu) and tegafur. because the combination of 5-fu and cisplatin has been proven to have a synergistic antitumor effect in many experimental and clinical stu
## BACKGROUND. Nearly all cases of metastatic prostate carcinoma progress, after hormonal ablation, to a hormone refractory status. To the authors' knowledge no standard chemotherapy for patients with hormone refractory prostate carcinoma (HRPC) exists. In a prospective study, the efficacy and toxi
## BACKGROUND. Hormonotherapy temporarily controls symptoms in 80% of patients with metastatic prostate carcinoma. Once progression occurs, no consensus exists on further therapy. Oral etoposide (vp-16) has shown clinical efficacy in advanced small cell lung carcinoma, breast cancer, germ cell tum
## Background: Both the biochemical modulation and the continuous administration of 5-fluorouracil (5-fu) have achieved promising results in patients with gastric carcinoma. conversely, several studies on gastric carcinoma have demonstrated that the combination of etoposide (vp-16), leucovorin (lv)
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Preclinical data suggest that the combination of intravenous (i.v.) paclitaxel, carboplatin, oral etoposide, and oral estramustine (TEEC) has significant activity in patients with advanced, hormoneβrefractory prostate carcinoma. The authors conducted this clinical trial t
