Molecular determinants of efficacy for 5‐FU‐based treatments in advanced colorectal cancer: mRNA expression for 18 chemotherapy‐related genes
2 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)-based regimens remain a cornerstone in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the attendant toxicity prevents these regimens from reaching maximum therapeutic potential. In this retrospective analysis, we examined the pretreatment expression of 18 genes in archival tumor bank samples from patients with advanced CRC to determine if one or more of the selected genes showed promise...
