Pharmacogenomics in cancer therapy: is host genome variability important?
Trends in pharmacological sciences - 1 Sept 2004
Petros William P, Evans William E
Abstract excerpt
Pharmacogenomics aims to elucidate the genomic determinants of drug disposition and effect. Because cancer chemotherapy is relatively nonspecific and has narrow therapeutic indices, there is great potential for pharmacogenomics to improve treatment outcomes by either reducing toxicity or increasing efficacy. The diversity of therapeutic targets for anticancer drugs and the intensity of clinical pharmacology...
