ABSTRACT Objective:This study analyzed the association between xenobiotic metabolism and DNA repair gene polymorphisms and overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients diagnosed with HNSCC in a Brazilian population. Methods: Retrospective study included 91 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of HNSCC. A total of 7 genes were analyzed: XRCC1,...
ABSTRACT Objective: Systemic treatment of advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma has resulted in increased survival of patients, but real-life data are scarce, particularly in developing countries.
