Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genetic polymorphisms contribute to interindividual variation in drug response. However, a single polymorphism is likely to exhibit a modest effect. Therefore, we applied a pathway-based approach to evaluate the cumulative effect of multiple polymorphisms on clinical outcome of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS: We genotyped 25 functional polymorphisms in 16 key genes involved in...
