Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cisplatin cures over 80% of testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs), and nucleotide-excision repair (NER) modifies the sensitivity to cisplatin. We explored the association between NER proteins and their polymorphisms with cisplatin sensitivity (CPS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with non-seminomatous (ns)-TGCTs. METHODS: The expression of ERCC1 and XPA and the presence of γH2AX were evaluated in...
