Abstract excerpt
The thymidylate synthase gene (TYMS) has three functional polymorphisms which are associated with TYMS expression. To explore the predictability of TYMS polymorphisms for the sensitivity and toxicity of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in breast cancer patients, this study investigated the association between TYMS polymorphisms and TYMS protein expression in normal and tumour tissue specimens from 49 lymph node-positive...
