Amphotericin B (AmB)-5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combination therapy against cancer was evaluated when both were given orally. Seven gastric cancer patients were treated in this manner, and 4 gastric cancer patients treated with 5-FU alone to serve as the control. AmB syrup and 5-FU syrup were administered orally for 3 days before surgical operation. Then, the drugs were given through a gastric tube into the stomach 4 hr before the start of the gastric surgery. Lesion tissues and healthy tissues were collected from each patient and the 5-FU titers were measured by bioassay. It was shown in the majority of the gastric cancer cases that the 5-FU levels in the lesion tissues were substantially higher than those in the surrounding normal tissues, whereas in the gastric cancer patients who received 5-FU alone, most of the lesion tissues showed lower 5-FU content as compared with that of the surrounding tissues.
