Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of the cancer cells.
Combining interferon alfa with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of fluorouracil plus interferon alfa in
treating patients who have advanced metastatic carcinoid tumors.
