AIM: Because 5-fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate (5-FdUMP), an anabolic active metabolite of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), is a substrate of MRP8 (encoded by ABCC11), we investigated whether ABCC11 polymorphisms play a role in severe toxicity of 5-FU. PATIENTS & METHODS: Genomic DNA from 672 cancer patients treated with 5-FU monotherapy and with documented toxicity according to WHO criteria was genotyped for 12 ABCC11...
