Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) and excision-repair cross-complementing repair deficiency group 2 protein (ERCC2 or XPD) may modulate the activity of platinum derivatives. The SNPs, Ile105Val for GSTP1 and Lys751Gln for ERCC2, may affect the efficiency of oxaliplatin in patients treated with an oxaliplatin-based regimen for metastatic colorectal carcinoma. PATIENTS & METHODS: A total of 107...
