摘要: We analyzed the expression levels of fluoropyrimidine-metabolizing enzymes (thymidylate synthase [TS], dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase [DPD], thymidine phosphorylase [TP] and orotate phosphoribosyltransferase [OPRT]) to identify potential biomarkers related treatment outcomes in gastric cancer (GC) patients receiving adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy. In this study, 184 who received curative gastrectomy (D2 lymph node dissection) were included. Immunohistochemistry quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction performed measure protein mRNA TS, DPD, TP, OPRT tumor tissue. univariate analysis, low intratumoral DPD was poorer 5-year disease-free survival (DFS; 78% vs. 88%; P = 0.068). Low (1st [lowest] quartile) also DFS (69% 90%; < 0.001) compared high (2nd 4th quartiles). multivariate analyses, or worse (P 0.05), irrespective other clinical variables. not outcomes. Severe non-hematologic toxicities (grade ≥ 3) had a trend towards more frequent development with (29% 16%; conclusion, GC did have inferior outcome following therapy those expression. Instead, poor DFS.
