Sixty-six patients with advanced colorectal cancer were treated with 5-fluorouracil, Mitomycin C, and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitrosourea. Fifty-seven patients were evaluable by completing 2 months of therapy. Nine patients (16.0%) achieved a complete remission (CR) with the above combination. A partial remission (PR) was seen in 9 patients. The response rate (CR + PR) was 32%. The average duration of response was 8.5 months. Mucositis, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia were the significant toxicities experienced in this study.
