title: [Oral 5-fluorouracil therapy in liver metastasis].
abstract: The therapeutic results of 5-FU given by oral application (15 mg/kg body weight x 10 days) in 11 patients with hepatic metastases (after colorectal and mammary carcinoma) are reported: objective response in 2 patients and subjective improvement in 4 patients contrasts to 3 patients without response and 2 patients with indefinite response to adjuvant chemotherapy. However, a long lasting complete remission in a female patient with important metastatic hepatic involvement following breast cancer must be emphasized.
