  • •Tumour biopsies were obtained from 62 head and neck cancer patients who received infusional 5-FU and DPD activity was assessed in the tumour and in normal tissue. The tumoural/non-tumoural DPD ratio correlated with response, suggesting that 5-FU catabolism in tumours plays a significant role in response to 5-FU.
