24 patients with a median of 3 prior chemotherapy regimens were treated in our department with cisplatin 20 mg/m2 (with pre- and posthydration) and 5-fluorouracil 200 mg/m2 i.v. on day 1-5, every three weeks. 23 patients are evaluable; one had early death. 4 patients (17%) achieved a partial response, 8 had stable disease, and 11 progressed. Toxicity observed was moderate and no renal toxicity was noted. This study therefore shows tolerable toxicity but limited usefulness of adding cisplatin to 5-fluorouracil according to this schedule in these highly pretreated patients.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
