Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common childhood bone cancer. Chemoresistance is the principal reason for poor survival and disease recurrence in OS patients, and ET-1 reportedly plays an important role in the development of chemoresistance in OS cells. In the present study, we for the first time explored the association of endothelin-1 (ET-1) SNPs and haplotypes with the risk of chemoresistant...
