Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | Evidently there is some disagreement on the timing of the TPF induction. TPF is actually 5F-U, it shouldn't be quite as nasty as Cisplatin. It can also be administered in pill form. They are probably being more aggressive because of your recurrence. More info: http://www.asco.org/ascov2/Meetings..._view&confID=40&abstractID=30872
