Abstract excerpt
DNA repair capacity (DRC) is correlated with sensitivity of cancer cells toward platinum-based chemotherapy. We hypothesize that genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair gene XPA (xeroderma pigmentosum group A) and XPG (xeroderma pigmentosum group G) (ERCC5, excision repair cross-complementation group 5), which result in inter-individual differences in DNA repair efficiency, may predict clinical response to platinum...
