Abstract: Chemotherapeutic and Radiation sensitizing agents which target tumor cells, specifically, based on the elevation of enzyme pathways, provide highly selective drug therapy. These agents are combined with modulating doses of cytidine deaminase inhibitors to increase selectivity. Furthermore, high doses of these cytidine deaminase inhibitors have the potential of counteracting the aggressive and metastatic characteristics of pancreatic tumors. For tumors with high levels of cytidine deaminase, such as pancreatic tumors, this elevation provides a therapeutic approach with prodrugs that require deamination for their activation. For tumors with high levels of uridine/cytidine kinase, a different class of pyrimidine analogs can be activated selectively in tumors for a therapeutic advantage.
