0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE High OPRT/TS and peritoneal metastasis (vs. liver metastasis) independently predicted responding. 27913881 2017
Secondary malignant neoplasm of liver
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE To determine if alterations of DNA copy number in genes involved in 5-FU metabolism-impacted clinical resistance to 5-FU-based chemotherapy, we assessed thymidylate synthetase (TYMS) and thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) copy number in colorectal liver metastases. 20727737 2010
Secondary malignant neoplasm of liver
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE To address this issue, we studied TSER genotype, TS expression, and activity with specific polymerase chain reaction and activity assays (TS catalytic activity and FdUMP binding) in normal (liver, mucosa) and malignant (primary tumor and liver metastasis) tissues from 83 patients with CRC. 19632929 2009
Secondary malignant neoplasm of liver
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Liver metastases (n = 93) along with primary tumors (n = 48) were analyzed for K-Ras mutations (codons 12 and 13), p53 mutations (exons 4-9), p53 polymorphism (codon 72), thymidylate synthase (TS) polymorphism (28-bp repeats including G>C mutation), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphism (677C>T, 1298A>C), thymidylate synthase (TS) activity, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase activity, folylpolyglutamate synthase activity, and p53 protein expression. 18676755 2008
Secondary malignant neoplasm of liver
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In this study, we evaluated the correlation between sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and the mRNA expression level of several 5-FU-related metabolic enzymes [thymidylate synthase, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), thymidylate phosphorylase (TP), orotate phosphoribosyl transferase, and uridine phosphorylase] in primary colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases from ten patients to investigate how colorectal cancer acquires 5-FU resistance during liver metastases. 16525674 2006
Secondary malignant neoplasm of liver
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE When matched tissue sets were compared on an individual basis, there was a significant correlation for TS mRNA expression between primary cancer and corresponding liver metastases (rs=0.52, p=0.0026). 16572420 2006
Secondary malignant neoplasm of liver
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE In both primary tumor and liver metastasis, the TS mRNA levels correlated significantly with the OPRT mRNA level (primary rS=0.83, P=0.00000081; liver metastasis rS=0.49, P=0.017), while the DPD mRNA level correlated significantly with the TP mRNA level rS=0.81, P=0.0000024; rS=0.63, P=0.0014; respectively). 15060742 2004
Secondary malignant neoplasm of liver
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE We have found that mRNA levels of the E2F family of transcription factors correlates with TS message levels and are higher in lung metastases than in liver metastases of colorectal cancers. 12084458 2002
Secondary malignant neoplasm of liver
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE The aim of this study was to evaluate three molecular genetic markers - p53, DCC (deleted in colonic cancer) and thymidylate synthase - in both the primary colorectal tumour and the resected hepatic metastases, and to determine their correlation, if any, with survival in patients with resected hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer. 12390383 2002
