NSCLC patients, clinical outcomes are poor and most patients develop high-grade toxicities.
Genetic factors, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) involved in platinum
pharmacodynamics, metabolism and mechanism of action, may account for inter-individual
differences shown in effectiveness and toxicity. Polymorphisms in genes involved in DNA
repair and others such as PI3K/PTEN/AKT and TGF-β pathways have been demonstrated to …
