Abstract

In this study we have tried to evaluate the effect of adding adjuvant intraperitoneal 5­Fu to the adjuvant radiation therapy and/or systemic chemotherapy for 32 colorectal cancer patients, and comparing their results with matching cases of colorectal cancer patients receiving only the adjuvant radiation therapy and/or systemic chemotherapy. The effect of adding the intraperitoneal 5­Fu, was feasible, tolerable and resulted in a decrease in the incidence of both local recurrence and distant metastasis, which did not reach statistical significance. Also resulted in an improvement in both overall and disease­free survival, which was statistically­significant with longer follow up periods of more than 2­3 years
