1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
There is increasing evidence supporting the important role of genetics in determining the effect (response and toxicity) to cancer chemotherapy. This has included both pharmacogenetics, where the alteration of a gene coding for an important drug metabolizing enzyme results in increased toxicity (and occasionally altered efficacy), and pharmacogenomics, where knowledge of the expression of genes critical to the...
