Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The combination of a platinum and taxane are standard of care for many cancers, but the utility is often limited due to debilitating neurotoxicity. We examined whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) from annotated candidate genes will identify genetic risk for chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A candidate-gene association study was conducted to validate the relevance of...
