Has genetic testing for DPD Deficiency prior to chemotherapy become commonplace? I lost my wife to 5-FU (Flourouracil) poisoning in 2008. DPD Deficiency was like a black hole back then, any pretesting for risk was never mentioned and in her case, it only took one treatment. Wishing you all the best in research and raising awareness.
