Gemcitabine is widely accepted as the first-line agent for advanced pancreatic cancer. The antitumor cell activity of gemcitabine is higher when administered after 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) rather than before 5-FU in an in vitro study. The present study was conducted to define the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity associated with an oral fluoropyrimidine prodrug that combines uracil and tegafur (UFT), given prior to weekly intravenous gemcitabine in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
