Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Platinum-based chemotherapy remains the standard treatment for advanced urothelial carcinoma by inducing DNA damage. We hypothesize that somatic alterations in DNA damage response and repair (DDR) genes are associated with improved sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy.Experimental Design: Patients with diagnosis of locally advanced and metastatic urothelial carcinoma treated with platinum-based...
