Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for about 20% of total lung cancer, and systemic chemotherapy is the major therapy for all stages of SCLC. Although most SCLC patients are characterized by initial chemosensitivity to the standard first-line platinum-based regimens, a significant fraction of patients are intrinsic nonresponders. METHODS: Genome-wide scan of 440 093 single-nucleotide polymorphisms...
