Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Inter-individual variations in treatment efficacy may be influenced by polymorphisms in DNA repair genes. We investigated the association of 3 functional polymorphisms in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway with survival outcome of 95 patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) treated with DNA-damaging chemotherapy. METHODS: ERCC1 8092 C/A, ERCC2 Asp312Asn and ERCC2 Lys751Gln were determined...
