Abstract :
The disturbingly rising trend of pancreatic carcinoma (PC) has been an impetus for a growing number of chemotherapy trials in recent years. We report the preliminary results of a novel clinical evaluation of mitomycin + capecitabine in 11 patients with advanced Pc. An encouraging 63% overall response rate including two complete remissions and a limited manageable toxicity profile were noted.
