5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is rapidly inactivated by dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD)  Women needing 1st- or 2nd-line treatment for metastatic breast cancer and then converted to α-fluoro β-alanine (F-Bal). F-Bal is neurotoxic, may contribute to * Clinical benefit. # Subjects who progressed (PD) on Arm 2 within 70 days (one scan) EU/5-FU/Lv could potentially allow patients who rapidly fail capecitabine to Previous treatment with an anthracycline and a taxane hand-foot syndrome and may interfere with antitumor activity of 5-FU.
