HCFU was orally administered to 14 patients with hepatocellular-carcinoma, (including 11 patients with liver cirrhosis) and evaluated of HCFU and 5 fluorouracil (5-FU) levels. Blood and tissue 6-8 hr. after oral administration. The concentration of 5-FU in tissue was almost in the effective levels. In addition, the 5-FU level in the tissue of hepatocellular carcinoma tended to be higher than in non cancerous portion of the liver. 5-FU tissue concentration was not correlated with various laboratory data for the liver function (K-ICG, T. bil, GOT, GPT, etc.) From these results, it is suggested that HCFU is a useful anticancer agent for hepatocellular carcinoma especially for the cases accompanied liver cirrhosis.
