Abstract excerpt
The enzyme thymidylate synthase (TS) is an important target of 5-fluorouracil (FUra) that is utilized for the treatment of disseminated colorectal cancer. One determinant of clinical response to FUra-based therapy is TS expression. with high levels of expression being predictive of poor response. In the present investigation the levels of immunoreactive TS were analyzed in human colon metastases in the liver...
