Researchers have utilized ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UH PLC-MS/MS) to monitor 5-Fluorouracil, a medication used to treat various cancers, in dried blood spots. This process offers a simpler, more efficient method than those in place involving the monitoring of plasma.
