fluorouracil and Dysmyelopoietic Syndromes

fluorouracil has been researched along with Dysmyelopoietic Syndromes in 5 studies

Fluorouracil: A pyrimidine analog that is an antineoplastic antimetabolite. It interferes with DNA synthesis by blocking the THYMIDYLATE SYNTHETASE conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid.
5-fluorouracil : A nucleobase analogue that is uracil in which the hydrogen at position 5 is replaced by fluorine. It is an antineoplastic agent which acts as an antimetabolite - following conversion to the active deoxynucleotide, it inhibits DNA synthesis (by blocking the conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid by the cellular enzyme thymidylate synthetase) and so slows tumour growth.

"Interestingly, rare balanced chromosomal abnormalities were observed in the present cases, thus providing new insights into the leukemogenesis of therapy-related leukemia."1.36Therapy-related leukemia following chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer.

"Cytogenetic abnormalities were not found in the stem cell harvests of these patients by metaphase analysis or by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)."1.31Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome after autologous stem cell transplantation for breast cancer. ( de Castro, K; Griffin, M; Hesdorffer, C; Lin, N; Murty, VV; Nichols, G; Oratzi, A; Troxel, A; Vahdat, L; Wei, LX, 2002)
"Early changes in karyotype detected in breast cancer patients following ASCT are transient and do not correlate with or predict development of MDS/AML."1.31Chromosomal abnormalities in women with breast cancer after autologous stem cell transplantation are infrequent and may not predict development of therapy-related leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
