摘要
The metabolism of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is complex and the reason for the low response rate of tumor patients to 5-FU is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether spectral parameters obtained noninvasively by in vivo F-19 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can be used to assess individual response to 5-FU chemotherapy. Eighteen patients with metastases of colorectal carcinoma treated with 5-FU were examined by F-19 NMR at 1.5 T. The NMR signal intensity versus time curves were observed for the cytostatic and its catabolite alpha-fluoro-beta-alanine (FBAL). Clinical response to treatment was monitored by CT/MR imaging of the liver and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels in the serum. 5-FU levels observed in IV-treated patients correlate with volumes of metastases in the liver region examined with the F-19 NMR coil (k = 0.77, p <.0001). 5-FU levels in patients at their initial 5-FU chemotherapy were related with clinical response determined after three cycles of treatment. In the group of patients with extensive liver involvement and IV treatment, responders (n = 3) had enhanced 5-FU levels compared to nonresponders (n = 3). FBAL data indicate an apparent saturation of 5-FU catabolism in the liver for 5-FU doses >1 g infused during 10 min. Mean absolute concentrations of FBAL were about 1 pmol per gram liver tissue. F-19 NMR spectroscopy could be used to guide dose escalation schemes or to assess the modulation of 5-FU metabolism by other drugs in combined chemotherapy.
