Two cases of advanced carcinoma of gallbladder were treated by combination chemotherapy consisting of 5-FU, leucovorin and continuous administration of etoposide. One of the cases was a male 61 years old and another was a female 64 years old, both of whom were diagnosed as inoperable cases by imaging studies. When combination chemotherapy consisting of 5-FU (750mg/day or 1,000mg/day infusion) was given, leucovorin (30mg/day) and etoposide (25mg/day oral or 33mg/day continuous infusion), angiography or other imaging studies pointed out a reduction in their lesions of over 50%, and their QOL was markedly improved.
