floxuridine vs systemic fluorouracil for hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer.
1, 1990 CANCER RESEARCH that two LDL-bound injected drugs -- methotrexate and
floxuridine -- successfully dodged the body's natural clearance mechanisms to circulate at least six times longer in the blood of rats than did unbound drugs.
