Excision repair cross complementing-group 1: Gene expression and platinum resistance (Review) parameters in human breast cancer
1 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Platinum compounds induce their cytotoxic effect by binding to a DNA molecule in the form of a platinum-DNA-adduct. Many previous studies have shown that the level of platinum-DNA-adduct correlats with response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Although the mechanism of platinum resistance in vivo is not clearly understood, laboratory studies on cancer cell lines suggest that nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the...
