Future of 5-fluorouracil in cancer therapeutics, current pharmacokinetics issues and a way forward [PDF]
Background: In addition to exhibiting antitumor potential, antitumor drugs exhibit toxicity due to a poor pharmacokinetic profile. An enormous amount of research has been carried out and is still ongoing to obtain more targeted, potent, and safe drugs to

This prospective study observed that preoperative chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer was associated with reductions in body fat and grip strength, which appeared to be more pronounced in female patients. These findings suggest that sex‐sensitive nutritional and exercise support may be beneficial to help maintain muscle mass and physical function ...

Dietary polyphenols influence antimetabolite agents: methotrexate, 6-mercaptopurine and 5-fluorouracil in leukemia cell lines [PDF]
Polyphenols have been previously shown to sensitize leukemia cell lines to topoisomerase inhibitors. Here, we assess the effects of five polyphenols when used alone and in combination with antimetabolites: methotrexate, 6-mercaptopurine and 5 ...

Predictive models successfully screen nanoparticles for toxicity and cellular uptake. Yet, complex biological dynamics and sparse, nonstandardized data limit their accuracy. The field urgently needs integrated artificial intelligence/machine learning, systems biology, and open‐access data protocols to bridge the gap between materials science and safe ...

BRIP-1 germline mutation and its role in colon cancer: presentation of two case reports and review of literature. [PDF]
BackgroundHereditary colon cancer is characterized by the inheritance of an abnormal gene mutation which predisposes to malignancy. Recent advances in genomic medicine have identified mutations in "novel" genes as conferring an increased risk of ...
