Synergistic effects of docetaxel and S‐1 by modulating the expression of metabolic enzymes of 5‐fluorouracil in human gastric cancer cell lines
24 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
We have recently demonstrated in a Phase I/II study that combination chemotherapy with docetaxel (TXT) and S-1 is active against metastatic gastric carcinomas. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the synergistic effects of these drugs, both the growth inhibitory effects and the expression profiles of enzymes involved in fluorouracil (5-FU) metabolism were examined in vitro and in vivo. TXT alone and in...
