title: [Combination therapy including mutamycin (mitomycin C) in the treatment of advanced colorectal and gastric cancer].
abstract: The paper reports the data on treatment of 57 patients with disseminated gastric and colorectal carcinoma using a combination of mutamycin + 5-fluorouracil + leucovorin + cisplatin. Overall response was 26.3% including complete--7.01 and partial--19.29%. Mean duration of complete and partial remission was 10.88 +/- 5.65 and 5.18 +/- 0.82 months, respectively. Treatment as first-line chemotherapy was significantly more effective (36.1 and 9.5%). The regimens proved relatively low-toxic and therefore, can be recommended for out-patient application.
