Abstract excerpt
The ERCC5 gene plays an important role in the nucleotide excision repair pathway that recognizes and removes platinum-DNA adducts. We aimed to examine whether ERCC5 promoter polymorphisms contribute toward intervariations in the platinum treatment response in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We evaluated the association between three tag-single nucleotide polymorphisms in the ERCC5...
