XPD and XRCC1 Genetic Polymorphisms Are Prognostic Factors in Advanced Non—Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated With Platinum Chemotherapy
8 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Platinum agents cause DNA cross-linking and oxidative damage. Genetic polymorphisms of DNA repair genes are associated with differential DNA repair activity and may explain interindividual differences in overall survival after therapy with platinum agents for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: We used polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism to evaluate genetic...
