Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Elucidation of the mechanisms by which gastric cancer cells acquire resistance to 5-fluorouracil (5FU) may provide important clues to the development of effective chemotherapy for 5FU-resistant gastric cancer METHODS: Four 5FU-resistant cell lines (MKN45/5FU, MKN74/5FU, NCI-N87/5FU, and KATOIII/5FU) were established by continuous exposure of the cells to progressively increasing concentrations of 5FU...
