Reduced levels of XPA, ERCC1 and XPF DNA repair proteins in testis tumor cell lines
27 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
Over 80% of patients with advanced metastatic testis tumors can be cured using cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy. This is unusual as metastatic cancer in adults is usually incurable. Cell lines derived from testis tumors retain sensitivity to cisplatin in vitro.
