UFT is effective as adjuvant chemotherapy for\nbreast cancer2, colorectal cancer3, non-small cell lung carcinoma4, head and neck cancer5 and other\ntumors. We report a 41-year-old man who orally ingested a large dose of UFT (tegafur: 40000 mg/\nuracil 9960mg)in an effort to commit suicide, and suffered from sub-acute toxicosis(main symptoms were\nbone-marrow suppression, and hair loss) of UFT. His life was saved by empiric antibiotic chemical\ntreatment (meropenem, isapamicin, and micafungin), and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G\n-CSF). In the case of toxicosis of UFT, strong antibacterial empiric chemotherapy and G-CSF are\nnecessary for rescue. If G-CSF is not work, biopsy of bone marrow woud be necessary, and the case of\nno stem cells, bone marrow transfusion should be thought.}, pages = {317--320}, title = {Sub-acute Toxicosis Caused by a Multiple Doses Tegafur/Uracil (UFT) for Suicide : A Case Report}, volume = {57}, year = {2007} }
