Abstract excerpt
PRINCIPLES: Platinum agents cause DNA cross-linking and oxidative damage. Genetic polymorphisms of GSTP1 and XRCC1 involved in glutathione metabolic and DNA repair pathways may explain inter individual differences in chemosensitivity and clinical outcome in NSCLC patients treated with platinum-based regimens. METHODS: We used DNA sequencing methods to evaluate genetic polymorphisms of the GSTP1A313G and...
