5-Fluorouracil neurotoxicity.

D H Moore1, W C Fowler, L S Crumpler.   

Abstract

Two cases of 5-fluorouracil-induced neurotoxicity from the University of North Carolina are presented. 5-Fluorouracil metabolism is briefly discussed with reference to possible mechanisms for the neurotoxicity. A possible role for thiamine supplementation in the prevention of this unusual complication is supported by our experience.
