Correlation between chemosensitivity and mRNA expression level of 5-fluorouracil-related metabolic enzymes during liver metastasis of colorectal cancer
1 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
The attainment of chemoresistance during tumor metastasis is often experienced. In this study, we evaluated the correlation between sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and the mRNA expression level of several 5-FU-related metabolic enzymes [thymidylate synthase, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), thymidylate phosphorylase (TP), orotate phosphoribosyl transferase, and uridine phosphorylase] in primary...
