Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The drug transporter ABCC2 is upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and implicated in platinum resistance. We evaluated the association between germline polymorphisms in the ABCC2 gene and survival outcomes of platinum-treated advanced NSCLC patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ten candidate and tagging germline polymorphisms in the ABCC2 gene were genotyped in a discovery cohort of 170...
