Abstract

• Delayed severe toxicities can occur after fluoropyrimidine exposure in patients with heterozygous DPYD mutation genotypes, especially with DPD c.557A>G (p.Y186C) variant in patients of African descent and female sex. • Uridine triacetate treatment should not be limited to patients with early-onset fluoropyrimidine toxicities or homozygous DPYD mutations.
