Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) is involved in not only the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but also chemotherapeutic effects. We hypothesized that an intronic polymorphism (rs430397G>A) in GRP78 affects survival among patients with NSCLC treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. METHODS: Blood samples of patients with advanced NSCLC (IIIB/IV) were maintained in our specimen...
