@@Neither CAs (in two patients) nor SCEs (in three patients) were induced
following administration of 5-FU.
@@5-FU induced MNs but not specific locus mutations in mice treated in
vivo. It induced aneuploidy, Cas and SCEs in cultured Chinese hamster cells.
It did not induce SLRL mutations in Drosophila, but caused genetic crossing-over
in fungi. Studies on mutation in bacteria wee inconclusive@(IARC Monographs,
