Combined analysis of genetic polymorphisms in thymidylate synthase, uridine diphosphate glucoronosyltransferase and X-ray cross complementing factor 1 genes as a prognostic factor in advanced colorectal cancer patients treated with 5-fluorouracil plus oxaliplatin or irinotecan

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of combining thymidylate synthase (TS), X-ray cross complementing factor 1 (XRCC1) and uridine diphosphate glucoronosyltransferase (UGT1A1 *28) polymorphism genotypes in response rate and time to progression (TTP) in metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) plus irinotecan or oxaliplatin (OXA). PCR, RFLP, allelic discrimination...
