Abstract excerpt
Irinotecan induces small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-1 conjugation to topoisomerase-I, leading to enhanced sensitivity to irinotecan. In this study, we genotyped SUMO1 and UBC9 polymorphisms in 147 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with irinotecan chemotherapy to investigate the association between genotypes and tumor response rate. Immunohistochemistry for SUMO1 and UBC9 was performed in 42 tumor...
