J D Bitran, and R K Desser, and M F Kozloff, and A A Billings, and C M Shapiro

Twenty-six patients with metastatic pancreatic or gastric adenocarcinoma were treated with 5-fluorouracil, Adriamycin, and mitomycin C. One complete and five partial responses were observed among 15 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (40% response rate) and six partial responses were observed among 11 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (55% response rate). Responders had a significantly longer survival than nonresponders in both groups.
