Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that interpatient variability in anthracycline metabolic rate may contribute to the cardiotoxicity associated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Therefore, polymorphisms in the anthracycline metabolizing enzymes have been proposed as potential biomarkers of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). METHODS: We have previously shown that 13 of the naturally occurring...
