Potential of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase genotypes in personalising 5-fluorouracil therapy among colorectal cancer patients

Background: Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is a pyrimidine catabolic enzyme involved in the initial and rate-limiting step of the catabolic pathway of toxic metabolites of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Several studies have reported that deficiency of DPD and polymorphisms of its gene are related to...
