Summary
Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop
growing or die. Interferon-gamma may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the
growth of the tumor. Combining more than one drug with interferon-gamma may kill more tumor
cells. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving
fluorouracil together with phenylbutyrate, indomethacin, and interferon-gamma and to see how
well it works in treating patients with stage IV colorectal cancer
