Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Giving chemotherapy drugs in different ways may kill more tumor
cells.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of second-look surgery with
or without intraperitoneal infusions of mitomycin and fluorouracil in treating patients who
have colorectal cancer that is recurrent to the peritoneum.
