Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary outcome of the study is the clearance of 5-FU at steady state<br /><br>(Clss) measured in ml/min. Among cancer patients treated with 5-FU, we will<br /><br>compare the variation in clearance between the four common DPYD variant allele<br /><br>carriers and DPYD wild-type carriers. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The secondary study parameters are the incidence of 5-FU related toxicities,<br /><br>U/DHU ratio, DPD phenotype (EM, IM, and PM), 5-FU doses, dosage adjustment and<br /><br>time to reach target AUC (cycle number).</p><br>
