Abstract excerpt
Thymidylate synthase (TS) intratumoural expression may be a prognostic marker and predict outcome of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy in colorectal cancer patients. The TS gene promoter enhancer region contains two different polymorphisms which can influence TS mRNA transcriptional and tr...
