Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: DNA repair system plays an important role in tumor sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between polymorphisms in XRCC1 and XPD, which are involved in DNA repair, and clinical responses to platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: XRCC1 Arg194Trp and XPD Lys751Gln were genotyped by PCR-RFLP method...
