2023, European Journal of CancerCitation Excerpt :Irrespective to the 5FU-based containing regimen, an optimal target 5FU AUC of 20 to 30 ng.h/mL has been defined for digestive cancers [21]. Of note, Saam et al. [85] reported that BSA-based dosing results in 5FU AUC below 20 ng.h/ml in 53% of patients receiving FOLFIRI (29/55) and in 51% of patients treated with FOLFOX6 regimen (153/302), highlighting potential relevance of 5FU therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) not only for reducing, but also increasing 5FU dosing. Two randomized studies [86,87] have demonstrated that individual 5FU dosing based on significantly improved 5FU therapeutic index, allowing validation of TDM for continuous i.v. 5FU.
