'''Capecitabine''' (]) ({{IPAc-en|icon|k|eɪ|p|ˈ|s|aɪ|t|ə|b|iː|n}}) (Xeloda, Roche) is an orally-administered chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of ] ] and ]s. Capecitabine is a ], that is enzymatically converted to ] in the tumor, where it inhibits ] and slows growth of tumor tissue. The activation of capecitabine follows a pathway with three enzymatic steps and two intermediary metabolites, 5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine (5'-DFCR) and 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR), to form 5-fluorouracil.

Capecitabine is FDA-approved for:
* Adjuvant in '']'' Stage III Dukes' C - used as first-line monotherapy.
* ''Metastatic colorectal cancer'' - used as first-line monotherapy, if appropriate.
* ''Metastatic ]'' - used in combination with ], after failure of ]-based treatment. Also as monotherapy, if the patient has failed ]-based treatment, and if anthracycline-based treatment has either failed or cannot be continued for other reasons (i.e., the patient has already received the maximum lifetime dose of an anthracycline).
