ABSTRACT
This review analyzed the effect of folic acid on pemetrexed efficacy and toxicity, especially high-does folic acid supplementation. The optimal duration for supplementation prior to the first dose of pemetrexed has not been defined. The review also explored whether total plasma homocysteine levels can be as a marker to predict and avoid toxicity from pemetrexed therapy.
