title: [A study on pre-operative administration of 5'-DFUR in carcinomas of the gastric, breast, thyroid and colon].
abstract: Pre-operative chemotherapy for 7 days with 5'-DFUR (p.o.) were carried out in the patients with gastric, breast, thyroid and colon cancers. The concentration of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in tumor cells was higher than that in the normal tissue. In case of breast cancer, it was 10 times higher than normal tissue. The concentration of 5-FU at the metastatic lymph nodes in gastric cancer was considerably high. The pattern of DNA histogram changed when chemotherapy was applied, and we observed the G2 and M phase block.
