title: [The combination methyl-CCNU, vincristine, 5-fluorouracil and streptozotocin in the treatment of advanced colo-rectal adenocarcinoma].
abstract: Sixteen patients with advanced colo-rectal cancer were treated with the combination methyl-CCNU, vincristin, 5-fluorouracil and streptozotocin (MOF-Strepto). Seven cases were previously untreated. A partial remission was observed only in one patient (6%, confidence limits to 95%: 1-17%). Marked gastrointestinal and hematologic toxicity was registered. Based on this experience the authors are unable to confirm other pilot studies claiming major antitumor activity for MOF-Strepto in the treatment of advanced colo-rectal cancer.
