title: [Effect of concomitant use of anticancer drugs and a Ca2+ antagonist, on human gastric cancer transplanted into nude mice].
abstract: We examined the effect of concomitant use of anticancer drugs such as Carmofur or 5-FU and Nicardipine, a Ca2+ antagonist, on human gastric cancer transplanted into nude mice, and obtained the following results: 1. Combined administration of Carmofur or 5-FU together with Nicardipine caused potentiation of an antitumor effect. 2. After Carmofur was used together with Nicardipine, the FU level in the tumor tissue was significantly elevated. In conclusion, it was found that in the combined use of Carmofur or 5-FU together with Nicardipine, a Ca2+ antagonist, caused a higher level of the FU in tumor tissue and potentiation of an antitumor effect on human gastric cancer transplanted into nude mice.
