title: [Experience with chemotherapy in peritoneal carcinosis].
abstract: 5-FU i.v. and Ptc i.v. and intraperitoneally were used to treat 8 patients in the Ancona Oncology Centre suffering from metastatic peritoneal carcinosis. Tolerance was generally good and where side-effects were observed they were the same as those habitually encountered in patients treated with 5-FU and Ptc.  Ascitic effusion disappeared or reduced by more than 50% in almost all cases. General condition thus improved.
