Abstract

Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is a rare adverse reaction to oral fluoropyrimidine TS-1, which contains the dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) inhibitor. We treated a recurrent gastric cancer patient with chronic renal failure who developed grade 2 HFS, grade 2 conjunctivitis and grade 3 stomatitis soon after TS-1 administration. Those symptoms improved with the administration of vitamin B6, topical emollient therapy, and so on. We thought that the continuous elevation of serum 5-FU concentration, due to the accumulation of DPD inhibitor from the renal dysfunction, led to the development of HFS, although the participation of 5-FU metabolites such as F-beta-alanine cannot be ruled out.
