All You Need to Know About DPYD Genetic Testing for Patients Treated With Fluorouracil and Capecitabine: A Practitioner-Friendly Guide
16 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Fluoropyrimidines (fluorouracil, capecitabine, and other analogs) are highly used anticancer drugs worldwide. However, patients with cancer treated with these drugs might experience severe, life-threatening toxicity because of germline genetic variation in the DPYD gene. This is a genetic predisposition with an established mechanistic basis that links genetic variation in the DPYD gene to an increase in systemic...
