Resumen
Colorectal cancer is the most common malignancy of the digestive tract. The treatment is based basically on administering antitumor medications, like 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), which belongs to the antimetabolites, antineoplastic agents. However, it has been shown that there is toxicity related to genetic polymorphism in patients treated with 5-FU, including gastrointestinal symptoms, myelosuppression, and neurotoxicity. The genetic variations of four genes have been studied, including ABCB1, DPYD, MTHFR, and TYMS.
