After several decades of use, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)
remains one of the most heavily used cytotoxic drugs for
treatment of cancer. Over the last 20 years, an
increased understanding of 5-FUs mechanism of action
has led to an increase in its anticancer activity.
Despite these advances, drug resistance remains a
significant limitation in clinical use. The purpose of
this study was to map 5-FU and its metabolites
distribution in healthy rats using 19F CSI in a 3T
clinical whole-body scanner. These studies may yield
information with respect to drug resistance, thereby
facilitating personalized treatment.
