Summary
This study looked at how a common chemotherapy drug called 5-FU affects small blood vessels in cancer patients. Researchers measured blood flow in the skin of 62 people, including current and past 5-FU patients, those on other chemotherapies, and healthy volunteers. The goal was to better understand why 5-FU can cause heart problems, but this was an observational study, not a treatment trial.
