Life-threatening toxicity in a dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase-deficient patient after treatment with topical 5-fluorouracil.

In humans, 80-90% of an administered dose of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is degraded by dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD; EC 1.3.1.2), the initial rate-limiting enzyme in pyrimidine catabolism. Cancer patients with decreased DPD activity are at increased risk for severe toxicity including diarrhea, stomatitis, mucositis, myelosuppression, neurotoxicity, and, in some cases, death. We now report th...

Severe neurotoxicity following 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy in a patient with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency.

Patients with decreased dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) activity are at increased risk for experiencing serious adverse reactions following 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy. Symptoms include severe and potentially life-threatening gastrointestinal toxicity, myelosuppression, and neurological toxicity. In the present study, we describe a 50-year-old Caucasian man who developed seve...

Familial Deficiency of Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase

Severe neurotoxicity due to 5-fluorouracil (FUra) has previously been described in a patient with familial pyrimidinemia. We now report the biochemical basis for both the pyrimidinemia and neurotoxicity in a patient we have recently studied. After administration of a "test" dose of FUra (25 mg/m2, 600 gCi 16-3HJFUra by intravenous bolus) to a patient who had previously developed neurotoxicity a...

Safe chemotherapy and targeted therapy for  treating locally advanced NPC in a G6PD-deficient patient: case report and literature review

The article was first report a case of a 32-year-old female with NPC that is G6PD-deficient. The patient completed induction chemotherapy and concomitant chemoradiotherapy successfully. The patient experienced grade 1 neutropenia , grade 1 diarrhea, and grade 2 acne-like skin reactions during the three cycles of  induction chemotherapy. Grade 1 neutropenia, grade 1 diarrhea, grade 2 oral mucosi...

Regulation of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase in colorectal cancer.

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is responsible for degradation of the pyrimidines uracil and thymine and the inactivation of the chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil. DPD activity is highly variable in cancer populations, and this variation may influence the antitumor efficacy of 5-fluorouracil. However, little is known about the regulation of DPD mRNA expression in any tissues. Using a ...
