Abstract excerpt
An important concern with the anticancer drug capecitabine (Cp), an oral prodrug of 5-fluorouracil, are dose-limiting adverse effects, in particular hand-foot syndrome (HFS) and diarrhea. Here we evaluated the association of genetic variability in all enzymes of the Cp-activation pathway to 5-fluorouracil with Cp-related early-onset toxicity in 144 patients receiving Cp. We identified a haplotype encompassing...
