Emergency treatment of severe capecitabine toxicity

Emergency treatment of severe capecitabine toxicity addresses a critical oncologic complication characterized by acute, life-threatening systemic overexposure to fluoropyrimidines following capecitabine administration

Emergency treatment of severe capecitabine toxicity addresses a critical oncologic complication characterized by acute, life-threatening systemic overexposure to fluoropyrimidines following capecitabine administration This clinical state affects adult and pediatric cancer patients, manifesting as early-onset, rapidly progressive dysfunction across multiple organ systems, most notably cardiovascular collapse, central nervous system impairment, refractory gastrointestinal injury such as severe muc...

Capecitabine is an orally administered prodrug of 5-fluorouracil, and profound toxicity typically arises from accidental overdose or impaired clearance due to dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) enzyme deficiency Immediate intervention aims to arrest cellular injury and prevent fatal multiorgan failure by mitigating the toxic incorporation of fluorinated metabolites into cellular RNA and DNA
