## Glucosamine (GlcN) modulates fluoropyrimidine metabolism and enhances cytotoxicity of 5fluorouridine (FUrd), but not of 5-fluorouracil (FUra), in human tumor models. To elucidate the underlying metabolic differences between FUra and FUrd, by the use of 19 F and 31 P NMR spectroscopy we studied

Thirty-eight patients with metastatic colorecal carcinoma were treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and 38 patients were treated with the combination of 5-FU, cyclophosphamide, and methotrexate. In terms of percent response, response duration, and survival there was no apparent difference between the
## Abstract Consecutive studies were undertaken in advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma, comparing two different schedules of the combination methylβCCNU, 6βthioguanine, and 5βfluorouracil in 89 patients. The two schedules exhibited similar efficacies, with a combined complete and partial remission r
## Abstract Orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (OPRT) is the main enzyme that involves in phosphoribosylation of 5βfluorouracil (5βFU), an essential step that leads to tumor growth inhibition. In our study, the prognostic relevance of OPRT, thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogen
