DPYD and UGT1A1 Pharmacogenetic Testing in Patients with Gastrointestinal Malignancies: An Overview of the Evidence and Considerations for Clinical Implementation

TL;DR: The PGx profiles of drug‐gene pairs with potential impact in GI malignancy therapy – DPYD‐5‐fluorouracil/capecitabine and UGT1A1‐irinotecan – and the available clinical evidence of their roles in reducing severe adverse events are discussed.
