    Hi, Eli,
    I understand it is for rectal cancer and preoperative; May be I should clarify more . (and it is nothing to do with the above citation since I look at a lot of article today.)
    That is I should add “lately I have seen a lot of 5FU infusion pump used (48hr) instead of 5FU infusions for a few hours at the chemotherapy treatment center for colon and other cancers in the place I work;I have also read about Xeloda being used in chemo-radiation instead of 5FU.” But of course I do not know whether it is for CCA or not.

    God bless.

    Hi Percy,

    Here’s the 1st paragraph:

    Quote:
    I have switched from infusional 5-FU to Xeloda as preoperative therapy for rectal cancer.

    Bold font mine.

    This is not a blank recommendation to choose Xeloda over 5-FU in all types of cancer.

    Hi, everyone,

    http://www.oncologystat.com/viewpoints/commentary/Ten_Practice_Changes_I_Will_Make_After_Attending_ASCO.html

    read the 1st paragraph about switching 5fu infusion to oral capecitabine.
    read #5,7,and 8 if you are short of time.

    God bless.
