Abstract excerpt
AIM: We investigated whether genetic polymorphisms may contribute to the interpatient variability of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. PATIENTS & METHODS: Polymorphisms in the candidate genes GSTM1, GSTT1, OCT1, OCT2, LARP2, ERCC1, XRCC1 and EPO were analyzed for associations with nephrotoxicity in 79 cancer patients receiving cisplatin-containing chemotherapy. RESULTS: Higher cisplatin dose was associated with...
