Local Irradiation Modulates the Pharmacokinetics of Metabolites in 5-Fluorouracil—Radiotherapy–Pharmacokinetics Phenomenon
BackgroundThe effects of radiotherapy (RT) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of 5-FU and 5-fluoro-5,6-dihydro-uracil (5-FDHU) were investigated by animal experiments.MethodsWhole-pelvis RT with 0.5 and 2 Gy was delivered to Sprague–Dawley rats. 5-FU at 100 mg/kg was intravenously infused 24 h after radia...
