Table 1.

Characteristics of patient cases. Shown per patient are primary tumor, treatment, capecitabine dose, executed assays (genotype, dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) enzyme activity, and additional assays) information. Additional assays are droplet digital PCR, PacBio sequencing (Menlo Park, CA, USA), or an in-house developed technique. For the executed assays, it is shown whether these were executed prior to treatment (P) or retrospectively (R). Abbreviations: BC: breast cancer; CRC: colorectal cancer; CAP: capecitabine; RT: radiotherapy; OX: oxaliplatin; BEV: bevacizumab; bid: bis in die/twice a day.
