Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is one of the most relevant dose-limiting adverse effects of capecitabine, an oral prodrug of 5-fluorouracil used in the standard treatment of breast and colorectal cancer. We investigated the association between grade 3 HFS and genetic variations in genes involved in capecitabine metabolism.
