[Home chemotherapy by concomitant UFT + Leucovorin (po.) in postoperative colorectal cancer patients assessed with Dukes D and curability C colorectal cancer].

Unlabelled: Concomitant treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and Leucovorin (LV) is positioned as the standard chemotherapy against colorectal cancer.
