Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore the associations between the genetic variations in the SDC2 gene and overall survival and risk of radiation esophagitis in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS: Eleven functional haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (htSNPs) of SDC2 were genotyped in 296 ESCC patients who received radiotherapy alone, and had different response and esophagitis. The...
