OverviewFluorouracil is one of the most commonly used drugs to treat cancer. It is used in the treatment of many types of cancer including, breast, head and neck, anal, stomach, colon and some skin cancers.5FU is part of a group of chemotherapy drugs known as the anti-metabolites. Anti-metabolites are similar to normal body molecules but they are slightly different in structure. These differences mean that anti-metabolites stop cells working properly instead of helping them. Anti-metabolites often stop cells making and repairing DNA. Cancer cells need to make and repair DNA in order to grow and multiply. Anti-metabolites also stop normal cells working properly.This is why you get side effects. You can have 5FU as an injection or infusion into a vein. There is also an ointment that your doctor may give you for skin cancer.
