Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To show whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of drug metabolic genes were associated with toxicity of 2',2'-difluoro 2'-deoxycytidine (gemcitabine)-based chemoradiotherapy and overall survival (OS) of patients with pancreatic cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We evaluated 17 SNPs of the CDA, dCK, DCTD, RRM1, hCNT1, hCNT2, hCNT3, and hENT1 genes in 154 patients with potentially resectable pancreatic...
