Therapeutic drug effects or toxicity depends on genetic polymorphisms in cancer chemotherapy / 医学研究生学报

A nucleotide diversity in DNA sequence is called polymorphism,which results in intersubjects variation in therapeutic drug effects and toxicity.Clinical studies were found that a single nucleotide polymorphism influenced response or drug toxicity in cancer chemotherapies,which were based on 5-fluorouracil,Irinotecan,platinum and so on.This review will focus on the recently development in the relation between drug effects or toxicity and polymorphism.
