Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genetic polymorphisms in genes involved in the immune response are already known to affect the anti-tumor immune response. This study systematically investigated the association of 14 functional SNPs in a panel of 7 genes (CCL2, CCR2, NT5E, IDO1, LAG3, PDL1, and PDCD1) involved in immune response checkpoints with the survival outcomes of Korean patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS: The genomic...
