title: Baker's antifol in combination with 5-fluorouracil and methyl-CCNU in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer: a Southwest Oncology Group Study (Protocol 7764).
abstract: Fifty-one previously untreated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer were treated with a combination of 5-fluorouracil, methyl-CCNU, and Baker's antifol. Six of 34 fully evaluable patients achieved a response. There were no apparent benefits obtained with this combination compared to treatment with 5-fluorouracil alone.
