XRCC2-Deficient Cells are Highly Sensitive to 5-Fluorouracil in Colorectal Cancer

Background/Aims: Inhibition of the repair of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced DNA lesions may improve the responses of tumors to anticancer agents. XRCC2 is a key factor in DNA repair. However, the role of XRCC2 in the chemoresistance of colorectal cancer (CRC) treated with 5-FU remains unclear. The ai...
