Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The polymorphisms of genes participate in metabolism and transport, and therefore may have an impact on the response to vinorelbine. OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether genotypes of CYP3A5, MDR1 and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) are associated with the response to vinorelbine in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). METHODS: We determined the genotypes of CYP3A5(*3), MDR1 (2677G-->T at exon 21 and 3435C-->T...
