Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) from 18F-FDG PET/CT scans could predict disease progression in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, compared to traditional markers like CEA and CA 19-9.
  • Involving 70 untreated patients, the research found that both SUVmax and CA 19-9 were independently significant in forecasting disease progression within a year, with a specific cut-off point of SUVmax at 4.1 distinguishing between patients with better or worse outcomes.
  • The results suggest using SUVmax as a new prognostic tool to identify patients at higher risk for rapid disease advancement, allowing for more personalized treatment strategies in metastatic

Adverse drug reactions still pose an important clinical problem. Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is an enzyme that regulates 5-FU quantities available for anabolic processes and hence affects its pharmacokinetics, toxicity and efficacy. There are several studies describing a hereditary (pharmacogenetic) disorder in which individuals with absent or significantly reduced DPD activity may even develop a life-threatening toxicity following exposure to 5-FU.
