Phase II/III Study of Doxorubicin With Fluorouracil Compared With Streptozocin With Fluorouracil or Dacarbazine in the Treatment of Advanced Carcinoid Tumors: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Study E1281

Abstract

Response to all three treatment regimens were modest. FU/STZ improved survival compared with the doxorubicin-based regimen, suggesting that the combination should be considered to be an active regimen of therapy when chemotherapy is judged to be an option for selected patients with carcinoid tumors.
