uracil/nausea

BACKGROUND Both the biochemical modulation and the continuous administration of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) have achieved promising results in patients with gastric carcinoma. Conversely, several studies on gastric carcinoma have demonstrated that the combination of etoposide (VP-16), leucovorin (LV), and

OBJECTIVE To compare ondansetron and domperidone for treatment of delayed nausea/vomiting (DN/V) following highly emetogenic chemotherapy, after attaining total suppression of emesis on the day of chemotherapy by mean of ondansetron (combined with dexamethasone in the case of cisplatin-treated

The safety of prolonged administration of UFT in which tegafur and uracil were mixed in a ratio of 1:4 in molar fraction was studied in 44 cases of bladder cancer and 10 cases of renal cell carcinoma. Daily doses of UFT were 300-600 mg, and average total doses administered were 102.0 g for bladder

A prospective, randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of endocrine chemotherapy with uracil and tegafur (in a molar ratio of 4:1 [UFT]) in patients with prostate cancer. The study included two treatment arms: endocrine plus UFT vs endocrine-only therapy. Of the 136 patients

The objective of this study was to evaluate the activity and toxicity of tegafur and uracil (UFT; 1:4 molar ratio) plus leucovorin (LV) in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. One hundred forty-one patients were entered into the study. The treatment schedule consisted of UFT 300 mg/m2/day (in

Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of the pre-administration of UFT (uracil/tegafur: prodrug of 5-FU) and GEM combination therapy for unresectable/recurrent pancreatic cancer in the outpatient setting. UFT (250mg/m(2)/day) was orally administered from day 1 through day 6 and

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and toxicity of oral administration of tegafur-uracil (UFT) at a high dose, 600 mg/day, based on the tegafur dose, against uterine cervical cancer. METHODS This study consisted of a retrospective analysis. From April 1986 to March 1997,

An early phase II study of tegafur-uracil (UFT) combined with cisplatin (CDDP) was conducted in patients with advanced gastric cancer. UFT was administered orally for 28 consecutive days at a dose of 400 mg/m2 and CDDP was injected intravenously for 3 day at a dose of 30 mg/m2 over 8 hours every 4

BACKGROUND Due to its greater convenience, a combination of uracil and tegafur (referred to as UFT) taken orally is an attractive alternative to continuous intravenous (i.v.) 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) infusion. This phase II study assessed the response rate and toxicity profile of the combination of

A phase II study was performed to assess the efficacy and toxicity of UFT (tegafur-uracil in the molar ratio 1:4) modulated with leucovorin (LV) in previously untreated patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma (CRC). 79 patients with measurable advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) and no prior

A 59-year-old male patient with rectal cancer 2 cm in diameter (T2) at the peritoneal reflection with suspicious left lateral node metastasis was treated with 400 mg of preoperative oral uracil and tegaful (UFT) for 5 weeks, 5 days a week in combination with concomitant radiotherapy of 45 Gy per 25

OBJECTIVE We report the feasibility and toxicity profile, and the impact on local control, disease-free survival and overall survival rates of our study which consisted of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy using uracil-tegafur (UFT)/leukovorin (LV) in

OBJECTIVE A multi-institutional phase II trial combining uracil-tegafur (UFT) and cisplatin (CDDP) was conducted in patients with previously untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this combined treatment regimen. METHODS The entry criteria for

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of a novel combination treatment using concurrent radiotherapy with cisplatin plus UFT, which is comprised of uracil and tegafur, in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. METHODS In this Phase II trial, patients with

OBJECTIVE To assess tolerance and efficacy of preoperative treatment with uracil/tegafur and radiotherapy (RT) followed by surgery and postoperative flurouracil (FU)/leucovorin (LV) in patients with rectal cancer. METHODS Patients (n = 94) with potentially resectable tumors, ultrasound at stages
