[5-Fluorouracil in the treatment of acute pancreatitis. Our experience].
A report is presented on 24 cases of acute pancreatitis treated with infusion of 5-fluorouracil. Though the action mechanism of the drug is still uncertain, fairly satisfactory results were obtained in terms of both clinical symptoms and laboratory findings, while the effect of the drug on the pain symptom could even be called spectacular. It is therefore considered that the treatment of acute pancreatitis with 5FU deserves serious consideration.
