Abstract

5-FUra is a familiar member of a variety of clinically useful regimens. Examples include: Cytoxan-Adriamycin-5-FUra (CAF); Methotrexate-Prednisone-Vincristine-Cytoxan-5-FUra (the Cooper regimen); and CisDDPt-5-FUra. In addition to its clinical utility, over 20 different 5-FUra-combinations have been reported to be therapeutically synergistic in experimental systems. In this report, we will attempt to evaluate the reasons behind the widespread utility of this agent in combination therapy and suggest future directions for research efforts.
