Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We presented retrospective analysis of up to five polymorphisms in TS, MTHFR and ERCC1 genes as molecular predictive markers for homogeneous Caucasian, non-squamous NSCLC patients treated with pemetrexed and platinum front-line chemotherapy. METHODS: The following polymorphisms in DNA isolated from 115 patients were analyzed: various number of 28-bp tandem repeats in 5'-UTR region of TS gene, single...
