Abstract excerpt
Recently, it has been demonstrated that the Arg399Gln substitution in the XRCC1 gene is associated with increased levels of markers of DNA damage. Deficiency in DNA repair pathways has been shown to confer to resistance to several drugs, including platinum compounds. Here we have studied whether this polymorphism of the XRCCI gene will predict response and survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer...
