TLDR
ERCC1 SNP assessment could be an important component of tailored chemotherapy trials and patients homozygous for the ERCC1 118 C allele demonstrated a significantly better survival.

Pharmacogenetic Assessment of Toxicity and Outcome After Platinum Plus Taxane Chemotherapy in Ovarian Cancer: The Scottish Randomised Trial in Ovarian Cancer

TL;DR: No reproducible significant associations between genotype and outcome or toxicity were found for any of the genes analyzed in this large study of a well-defined patient population within one specific clinical trial, highlighting the need for validation of putative genetic markers in large, well- defined clinical sample sets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation of CDA, ERCC1, and XPD Polymorphisms with Response and Survival in Gemcitabine/Cisplatin–Treated Advanced Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

TL;DR: The role of CDA Lys27Lys polymorphism is suggested as a possible predictive marker of activity, toxicity, TTP, and OS in advanced NSCLC patients treated with cisplatin and gemcitabine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of Class III β-Tubulin Is Predictive of Patient Outcome in Patients with Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Receiving Vinorelbine-Based Chemotherapy

TL;DR: It is suggested that a high level of expression of class III β-tubulin in tumor cells is associated with resistance to vinorelbine and a poor prognosis in patients with NSCLC receiving vinORElbine-based chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in normal and pathological lung

TL;DR: This review aims to give new insights in the possible functions of ABC molecules in the lung in view of their expression in different cell types, and the role in protection against noxious compounds, e.g. air pollutants and cigarette smoke components, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Management of chemotherapy-induced nausea, vomiting, oral mucositis, and diarrhoea.

TL;DR: For moderately to highly emetogenic chemotherapy, standard prophylactic treatment is an antagonist for 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptors (5-HT3R) combined with dexamethasone for the acute phase, and dexamide with another agent for prevention of the delayed phase as discussed by the authors.

New Guidelines to Evaluate the Response to Treatment in Solid Tumors

TL;DR: A model by which a combined assessment of all existing lesions, characterized by target lesions and nontarget lesions, is used to extrapolate an overall response to treatment is proposed, which is largely validated by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Group and integrated into the present guidelines.

Randomized, Multinational, Phase III Study of Docetaxel Plus Platinum Combinations Versus Vinorelbine Plus Cisplatin for Advanced Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: The TAX 326 Study Group

TL;DR: DC resulted in a more favorable overall response and survival rate than VC, demonstrating that a docetaxel plus platinum combination is an effective treatment option with a favorable therapeutic index for first-line treatment of advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
Journal Article

Nonconservative amino acid substitution variants exist at polymorphic frequency in DNA repair genes in healthy humans.

TL;DR: Estimation of the extent of DNA sequence variation among individuals in genes encoding proteins of the DNA repair pathways finds nine different amino acid substitution variants have been identified in resequencing of the exons of three nucleotide excision repair genes, a gene involved in double-strand break repair/recombination genes, and a gene functioning in base excision Repair and the repair of radiation-induced damage.
Journal Article

Low ERCC1 expression correlates with prolonged survival after cisplatin plus gemcitabine chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: Everexpression of the excision repair cross-complementing 1 (ERCC1) gene is a predictive factor for survival after CDDP/Gem therapy in advanced NSCLC and the presence of weight loss were significant prognostic factors for survival in a Cox proportional hazards multivariable analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of multidrug resistance in epilepsy with a polymorphism in the drug-transporter gene ABCB1.

TL;DR: Patients with drug-resistant epilepsy were more likely to have the CC genotype at ABCB1 3435 than the TT genotype, implying that the polymorphism may not itself be causal but rather may be linked with the causal variant.
