Clinical significance of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase and thymidylate synthase expression in patients with pancreatic cancer

Background Little is known about the clinical significance of TS and DPD in pancreatic cancer. We aimed to evaluate TS and DPD expression levels in not only pancreatic cancer but also surrounding normal pancreatic tissues to assess the clinical implications of the expression of TS and DPD in this study.
