A new fluoropyrimidine antitumor agent, carmofur (HCFU, Mifurol) was administered to patients with malignant ovarian tumor. Two of these patients revealed favorable results. The first patient was a 72-year-old female, who was diagnosed as having ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma with metastatic omental tumor at exploratory laparotomy, its size was newborn child head size. She was started on with a combination chemotherapy of Mifurol (600 mg p.o. daily), Endoxan (4 mg/kg i.v. twice a week), Mitomycin C (0.04 mg/kg i.v. twice a week) and Toyomycin (0.01 mg/kg i.v. twice a week). After four weeks, this combination therapy brought her a complete response with disappearance of pleural effusion, ascites and metastatic tumor. The second case was a 39-year-old female, who underwent adnexectomy elsewhere which led to the discovery of Krukenberg tumor, and was referred to our hospital. After the first course of the same combination chemotherapy, second look operation was performed. Histological examination of the specimen obtained by metastatic tumor of uterosacral ligament showed the degeneration (grade II b-III, Oboshi and Shimozato) of cancer cell. It is suggested that this combination chemotherapy including Mifurol is effective and useful for the patients with ovarian carcinoma.
