Selenium safeguards the liver against 5flurouracil-induced toxicity
Hepatotoxic effect of 5-Fluourouracil (5-FU) can deprive cancer patients of maximum therapeutic benefits. Aim: This study assessed the ability of selenium (Se) to protect against hepatotoxicity induced by 5-FU in rats. Forty adult albino rats were groups and used. Rats in group A (control) were treated intraperitoneally (ip) with 0.2ml of normal saline daily for 5 days. Rats in groups B1-B3 wer...
متن کاملFluorouracil-based combinations in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
Although combination chemotherapy regimens may prolong survival for selected patients with metastatic breast cancer, few, if any, are cured. The standard regimens used in treatment, e.g., CMF (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil [5-FU]), FAC (5-FU, Adriamycin, and cyclophosphamide), and FEC (5-FU, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide), were developed over a decade ago. Current efforts ...
متن کاملPhase I evaluation of therapy with four schedules of 5-fluorouracil by continuous infusion combined with recombinant interferon alpha.
The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) when administered concurrently with recombinant IFN-alpha using four continuous infusion (CI) dosing schedules of 5-FU. Forty-five patients with advanced or refractory cancers were treated with 5-FU by CI, plus IFN during the infusion only, by one of four schedules: schedu...
متن کاملMeasurements of 5-FU Plasma Concentrations in Patients with Gastrointestinal Cancer: 5-FU Levels Reflect the 5-FU Dose Applied
Introduction: 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is the basis of most combination chemotherapies for gastrointestinal tumors. It is generally well tolerated, but side-effects might require dose-adjustment. As adverse events are not specific to the 5-FU component of the chemotherapy-combination, i.e. neutropenia, diarrhea or cardiotoxicity, the knowledge of 5-FU serum levels might help to attribute these sid...
متن کامل5-Fluorouracil Induce the Expression of TLR4 on HCT116 Colorectal Cancer Cell Line Expressing Different Variants of TLR4
Two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the human TLR4 gene, namely Asp299Gly (D299G) and Thr399Ile (T399I), have been shown to impair the ability of certain individuals to respond properly to TLR4 ligands. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is widely used for the treatment of patients with advanced colon cancers. The present study examined the impact of two common polymorphisms of the TLR4 gen...
