Résumé

Most clinical trials exclude elderly people, leading to a limited understanding of the benefit-to-risk ratio in this population. Despite existing data regarding the oncological management of elderly receiving fluorouracil (5-FU)-based regimen, our objective was to investigate 5-FU exposure/toxicity relationship in patients ≥75 years and compare the effectiveness of 5-FU therapeutic drug monitoring between elderly and younger patients.
