[Use of ftorafur for the treatment of 3d-4th stage].
To treat ovarian cancer of stage III-IV the authors have used an antimetabolite-fluorafur. A total dosage of 17-23 g. "marked improvement" was noted in 15 patients, "insignificant improvement" - in 9, there was no improvement in one case. It was found that the level of FSH excretion was reduced twice under the influence of fluorafur, the greater decrease corresponding to a better clinical effect. The drug used in doses applied by the authors, proved to be nontoxic.
