Abstract |
In 103 patients with colorectal cancer the efficacy of three schedules of chemotherapy using fluorouracil (FU), FU with doxorubicin, FU with levamizol (LEV) was studied up. The result of treatment in 3 and 5 years was compared with that in patients, to whom merely surgical treatment was performed. Most effective treatment was application of FU with LEV: the three-year survival index of patients had constituted 66.7%, five-year one--54.5% and in control group--46.8 and 41.3% accordingly. The adjuvant chemotherapy performance was most effective in cancer stage III and in nondifferentiated type of tumor.
