Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly prevalent form of neoplasm worldwide. Capecitabine, an oral antimetabolite, is widely used for CRC treatment; however, there exists substantial variation in individual therapy response. This may be due to genetic variations in genes involved in capecitabine pharmacodynamics (PD). In this study, we investigated the role of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to...
