Purpose
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving drugs in different ways may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of surgery followed by floxuridine plus systemic fluorouracil and leucovorin in treating patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer.

| Official Title: | HEPATIC RESECTION FOLLOWED BY CONCURRENT ADJUVANT PORTAL VEIN INFUSION OF FLUORODEOXYURIDINE AND SYSTEMIC 5-FLUOROURACIL AND FOLINIC ACID FOR METASTATIC COLORECTAL CARCINOMA |
| Estimated Enrollment: | 50 |
| Study Start Date: | September 1994 |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: Following resection of the liver and all extrahepatic colorectal cancer, patients receive floxuridine via portal vein infusion from days 1-14. Systemic chemotherapy consists of leucovorin calcium on days 8-14 and fluorouracil on days 9-13. Courses repeat every 4 weeks for a total of 12 weeks.
If biopsy-proven metastatic disease develops, treatment may be stopped at the investigator's discretion. Continuation of regional therapy should be considered for extrahepatic failure. No concurrent radiotherapy is permitted.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 3 years, then every 6 months for survival.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: It is expected that 50 patients will be entered over approximately 5 years.
