Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: CASP7 plays a crucial role in cancer development and chemotherapy efficacy. We, therefore, explored whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CASP7 gene can modulate outcomes of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. METHODS: We systematically genotyped 17 SNPs of CASP7 first in a discovery set of 279 patients with...
