Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between survival outcome of esophageal cancer patients and the genetic variants in xeroderma pigmentosum groups A (XPA) and C (XPC), 2 important molecules in the nucleotide excision pathway for DNA repair. METHODS: A total of 501 patients with a diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) were enrolled in the study. The genetic...
