Hepatobiliary tumours are rare, often present late and have a poor prognosis, with no current effective systemic therapy available. This study aimed to evaluate the activity and toxicity of epirubicin, cisplatin and continuous infusional 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (ECF) in patients with these tumours. From March 1991 to November 1993, 25 patients with advanced biliary tumours and 7 with hepatoma were treated with epirubicin 50 mg/m(2) and cisplatin 60 mg/m(2) intravenously (i.v.) day 1, each given every 21 days and 5-FU 200 mg/m(2)/day given as a continuous 24 h i.v. infusion throughout the treatment course. 8 of the 20 (40%) evaluable patients with biliary tumours responded. Median duration of response was 10 months. 2 of the 7 (29%) patients with hepatoma responded. The regimen was well tolerated with minimal haematological and non-haematological toxicity. This novel regimen is active in advanced hepatobiliary tumours.
