title: Phase II trial of continuous-infusion iproplatin (CHIP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in advanced colorectal carcinoma.
abstract: Following the observation of antitumor activity for the combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin in metastatic colorectal carcinoma, the combination of 5-FU and iproplatin was tested, also in colorectal carcinoma, in the hope of attaining equivalent activity without the nephrotoxicity observed with 5-FU/cisplatin. However, no responses were achieved with 5-FU/iproplatin.
