Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may modulate not only an individual DNA repair capacity, DNA damage levels and cancer risk but also clinical outcome after DNA damage-inducing anticancer therapy. In this study, we analyzed the association between the XPA -4G>A, XPD Asp312Asn, hOGG1 Ser326Cys, XRCC1 Arg399Gln, XRCC2 -4234G>C, XRCC3 -4541A>G and Thr241Met polymorphisms and prognosis in 250 inoperable non-small...
