Genetic Polymorphisms and the Efficacy of Platinum-Based Chemotherapy: Review.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have indicated that genetic variations in individuals may result in changes in gene expression and amino acids. The effect of these changes may lead to different responses to platinum-based chemotherapy. A vast response rate interval and a short survival rate indicate that the efficacy and efficiency of the selection of chemotherapy have not been optimized. This article aims to illustrate the potential relationship of various genetic polymorphisms in response to platinum-based chemotherapy for several types of cancer. This review was conducted using articles from the last three- and five-year periods (2014-2019) that use gene polymorphism and its relationship to the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy as their theme. A total of 26 out of 488 relevant articles were incl
