Thymidylate synthase (TS), a key enzyme in DNA synthesis, is overexpressed in a variety of cancer cells. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), an anticancer agent used clinically against various cancers, including prostate cancer, inhibits DNA synthesis by binding TS. In this study, we investigated the expression of TS in prostate cancer and its prognostic significance. Its association with the expression of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), a principal enzyme in the degradation of 5-FU and pyrimidine nucleotides, was also examined.
