Abstract excerpt
Etoposide is routinely used in combination-based chemotherapy for testicular cancer and small-cell lung cancer; however, myelosuppression, therapy-related leukemia and neurotoxicity limit its utility. To determine the genetic contribution to cellular sensitivity to etoposide, we evaluated cell growth inhibition in Centre d' Etude du Polymorphisme Humain lymphoblastoid cell lines from 24 multi-generational...
