Abstract
We studied the levamisole toxic effects in adjuvant therapy for colorectal cancer. The therapy toxic effects on 127 patients were statistically more important in the levamisole-treated group compared to patients treated with folinic acid and 5-fluorouracil alone. Randomized studies in progress will demonstrate the real therapeutic value of levamisole.
