5-Fluorouracil treatment induces characteristic T>G mutations in human cancer
2019-06-25
Abstract excerpt
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a chemotherapeutic drug component that is commonly used for the treatment of solid cancers. It is proposed that 5-FU possesses anticancer properties via the interference with nucleotide synthesis and incorporation into DNA. As both mechanisms may have a mutational impact on both surviving tumor and healthy cells, we treated intestinal organoids with 5-FU followed by whole genome sequencing...
