Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We are trying to identify predictive factors of high risk of toxicity by analyzing candidate genes in the irinotecan pathways in order to identify useful tools to improve mCRC patient management under real practice conditions. METHODS: Genomic DNA was genotyped for UGT1A1 (*28, *60 and *93) from all 101 patients, and irinotecan dose was 180 mg/m(2) every second week. Clinical data were obtained by...
