pubmed:abstractText
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a widely used for colorectal carcinoma. However, the therapeutic effect of 5-FU differs among patients. This difference may be based on the difference in sensitivity of carcinoma cells to 5-FU. The activities of thymidine phosphorylase (TP) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) are reported to be correlated with cancer cell sensitivity against 5-FU in vitro. We evaluated whether TP and DPD are useful markers of tumor sensitivity for 5-FU in colorectal carcinomas.
