Abstract |
From October 1985 to December 1986, 25 patients with advanced prostatic carcinoma were entered in a phase II trial and were administered fluorouracil (F) 600 mg/m2, on days 1 and 2, doxorubicin (A) 40 mg/m2, on day 1, and cisplatin (P) 90 mg/m2, on day 1, every month. The response was evaluated after three cycles of chemotherapy according to National Prostatic Cancer Project criteria. There were no complete remission, 1 partial remission, 13 stabilizations, 11 progressions. Toxicity was assessed using WHO criteria. Alopecia and vomiting were universal; there were 11 grade 1 anemias, 2 aplasias, and 1 grade 1 renal toxicity. A FAP regimen appears to exert a marginal effect in advanced prostatic carcinoma.
