Impact of gene polymorphisms on the systemic toxicity to paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy for treatment of gynecologic cancers
ConclusionsThe present study suggests thatCYP2C8*3 is a potential predictor of hematological toxicities related to paclitaxel/carboplatin treatment. Since hematological toxicities, especially neutropenia, may lead to dose delay or treatment interruption, such prognostic evaluation may contribute to clinical management of selected patients with paclitaxel-based chemotherapy.
