Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To explore the effect of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and haplotypes on outcome of capecitabine. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Germline DNA was available from 568 previously untreated patients with advanced colorectal cancer participating in the CAIRO2 trial, assigned to capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab ± cetuximab. The coding region of dihydropyrimidine...
