Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine because pancreatic cancer is sensitive to 5-fluorouracil, thymidine phosphorylase-activated oral drug capecitabine in tumoral and endothelial cells and tumor infiltrating thymidine phosphorylase-positive macrophages could increase the concentration of 5-fluorouracil at tumor site, thus resulting in an enhanced antitumor activity Homo sapiens
