Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We aimed to investigate the prognostic role of endothelin-1 (EDN1) and endothelin A receptor (EDNRA) gene polymorphisms in patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Two hundred three consecutive patients with locoregionally advanced NPC were enrolled. Seven potentially functional polymorphisms in the EDN1 and EDNRA genes were determined by ligase detection...
