Genetic variation in DNA-repair pathways and response to radiochemotherapy in esophageal adenocarcinoma: a retrospective cohort study of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Recent data in esophageal cancer suggests the variant allele of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in <it>XRCC1 </it>may be associated with resistance to radiochemotherapy. However, this SNP has not been assessed in a...
