From 1980 till 1984 16 patients were entered into a non-randomized pilot study, to investigate the feasibility of five courses of adjuvant 5-fluorouracil, Adriamycin and mitomycin C 9FAM) after a curative resection of pancreatic or periampullary cancer. The survival of this group of patients was compared with that of 36 patients who underwent a curative resection alone between 1977 and 1984. Four patients received less than 20%, 4 patients 50%–60% and 7 patients≧80% of the calcuated dose of adjuvant chemotherapy. The chemotherapy was badly tolerated. Only 1 patient resumed some of his normal activity during chemotherapy. The 3-year actuarial survival after curative resection with and without FAM was similar, i.e. 24% and 28% respectively. These data suggest that adjuvant FAM after a Whipple's operation or total pancreatectomy is not feasible because of additive postoperative and chemotherapy-induced morbidity.
