[In vitro testing and clinical experience with 5-fluorouracil in gynaecologic cancer (author's transl)]
Abstract:
201 pretherapeutic tests for sensitivity of gynaecologic cancers against 5-fluorouracil were performed. Only 8.5% of cases proved to be sensitive in tissue culture. Clinical results with 5-FU monotherapy were unsatisfactory. 5-FU should only be used very critically in gynaecologic neoplasims. The value of predictive tests for sensitivity against cytostatics in planning individualized selective chemotherapy is emphasized.
