Pharmacogenetic tests in cancer chemotherapy: what physicians should know for clinical application
@article{Lee2011PharmacogeneticTI, title={Pharmacogenetic tests in cancer chemotherapy: what physicians should know for clinical application}, author={Soo-Youn Lee and Howard L. McLeod}, journal={The Journal of Pathology}, year={2011}, volume={223} }
Significant efforts to develop pharmacogenomic predictors have been made to guide more effective and safer chemotherapy. Although a considerable amount of data has been generated from numerous experimental or clinical studies, there is a large gap between pharmacogenomic knowledge and clinical application. This review will focus on eight pharmacogenetic tests including TYMS, DPYD, UGT1A1, CYP2D6, EGFR, KRAS, FCGR3A, and BRCA1/2 to predict toxicity or response to commonly used chemotherapeutic…
