• Have at least 6 months elapsed since prior adjuvant 5-FU or CPT-11 therapy, or Mitomycin C or nitrosourea therapy.
• Have had at least an 8 week interval since any prior radiation therapy or 4 weeks since any major surgery.
• Have recovered from any toxicities resulting from prior therapies (except for alopecia).
• Adequate renal, bone marrow, liver function defined as serum creatinine less than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal, serum bilirubin less than 2 times the upper limit of normal, ANC greater than 1.5 x 109/L, Platelet count greater than 90 x 109/L, SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) less than 3 times the upper limit of normal.

Exclusion Criteria

• Failure by the subject or the subject's legal representative to sign the Informed Consent.
• An inability to obtain Informed Consent because of psychiatric or complex medical problems.
• Have concurrent infection including diagnoses of FUO or evidence of possible central line sepsis (subjects must be afebrile at the start of therapy).
• Have unstable oncologic emergency syndromes: superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, rising bilirubin needing stent placement, spinal cord compression, progressive brain metastases, active bleeding, hypercalcemia, etc.
• Have unstable medical conditions such as acute coronary syndrome, cardio-vascular accident within the previous 12 months (such as transient ischemic attacks, accelerated hypertension), etc.
• Have cerebellar neurologic syndromes such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and amyotonia.
• Have a known intolerance to fluoropyrimidine (5-FU, Capecitabine, Floxuridine, UFT) therapy (dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency).
• Patients with vomiting, diarrhea, or nausea of grade greater than 1.
