title: Adriamycin, mitomycin C, and 5-fluorouracil in combination for advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma previously treated with 5-fluorouracil.
abstract: Twenty-one patients with progressing colorectal carcinoma previously treated with 5-FU were given a combination of 5-FU, adriamycin, and mitomycin C in an attempt to produce an objective response. No response was observed; 24% of patients had an arrest of their disease for a median of 18 weeks. 5-FU, adriamycin, and mitomycin C in combination failed to produce a response in patients with colorectal carcinoma previously treated with 5-FU.
