BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms involved in DNA repair and apoptosis are suspected to influence patient response to cancer treatment. To evaluate the effect of genetic variations on chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, we genotyped four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ATM (A60G), ERCC1 (Asn118Asn), APE1 (Asn148Glu), and iASPP (A67T), and examined their associations with treatment response among patients...
