Abstract excerpt
AIM: Platinum-induced toxicity severely impedes successful chemotherapy in lung cancer patients. The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway is considered as one of the major factors contributing to platinum effects. Furthermore, genetic variances of the NER pathway influence platinum toxicity. eIF3α, over expressed in many malignancies, is an up-stream gene of NER and could regulate its activity. The purpose of...
