To determine the feasibility and toxicity of combining leucovorin (CF) with a 5fluorouracil(5-FU) combination chemotherapy regimen currently accepted by many as standard treatment for gastric cancer, CF (500 mg/m') was administered in combination with the Georgetown S-FU, doxorubicin, and mitomycin

## Background: Colorectal carcinoma is the third leading cause of cancer-related death. the primary treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma is systemic chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil (5-fu) and leucovorin (lv), a biomodulator of 5-fu that has been shown to enhance its activity
## BACKGROUND. The biochemical modulation of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) by leucovorin (Lv) has demonstrated significantly increased response rates in comparison with the use of 5-FU alone in patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma. However, the higher response rate of LV/5-FU may occur at the expen
