Phase II trial of streptozotocin, mitomycin C, and 5-fluorouracil in adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. 1980

R M Bukowski, and R T Abderhalden, and J S Hewlett, and J K Weick, and C W Groppe

A phase II study study employing 5-fluorouracil, mitomycin C, and streptozotocin in unresectable pancreatic carcinoma was performed. Seven of 22 patients (32%) responded and 4 of 22 (18%) had stable disease. Median survival of the entire group was 6 months, and of responders 9.5 months. In 13 patients with localized disease, five responses (38%) were seen and median survival was 7.5 months. Toxicity of the regimen was moderate, being predominantly gastrointestinal and renal. The usefulness of this regimen in localized pancreatic cancer should be explored further.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008937 Mitomycins A group of methylazirinopyrroloindolediones obtained from certain Streptomyces strains. They are very toxic antibiotics used as ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS in some solid tumors. PORFIROMYCIN and MITOMYCIN are the most useful members of the group.
D009325 Nausea An unpleasant sensation in the stomach usually accompanied by the urge to vomit. Common causes are early pregnancy, sea and motion sickness, emotional stress, intense pain, food poisoning, and various enteroviruses.
D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).
