Abstract
Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Thus, patients with a DPD deficiency are at risk of developing severe 5-FU-associated toxicity. A 37-year-old female with gastric cancer underwent a curative operation, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of 5-FU and epirubicin. After the first cycle of chemotherapy, the patient manifested grade 2 mucositis and febrile neutropenia, and when her treatment was subsequently continued with doxifluridine she developed severe mucositis and febrile neutropenia. A PCR study revealed that her DPD mRNA level was lower than that in a control group. Thus, when considering the routine use of 5-FU for the treatment of cancer patients, an analysis of DPD activity or screening for DPD mutations is warranted in confined patients who experience unpredicted severe toxicity after initial 5-FU administration, even though DPD deficiency is a rare metabolic defect.
