Abstract excerpt
Most antitumour therapies damage tumour cell DNA either directly or indirectly. DNA damage responses, and particularly DNA repair, influence the outcome of therapy. Because DNA repair normally excises lethal DNA lesions, it is intuitive that efficient repair will contribute to intrinsic drug resistance. Indeed, in certain circumstances reduced levels of DNA nucleotide excision repair are associated with a good...
