title: [Treatment of acute pancreatitis with 5-fluorouracil].
abstract: The authors developed an outline for the treatment of acute pancreatitis with 5-fluorouracil which consists in a single or double injection of 250 mg of the drug. The method was used in 54 acute pancreatitis cases. A single intravenous injection of 250 mg of the drug proved to be sufficient for arresting the acute process in edematous and edemo-hemorrhagic pancreatitis. This method helps to shorten the treatment period. Clinical data were confirmed by experimental findings in 12 dogs.
