Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a treatment limiting toxicity of paclitaxel. We evaluated if EPHA genetic variation (EPHA4, EPHA5, EPHA6, and EPHA8) is associated with PN sensitivity by accounting for variability in systemic paclitaxel exposure (time above threshold). METHODS: Germline DNA from 60 patients with breast cancer was sequenced. PN was measured using the 8-item sensory subscale...
