摘要: It is well known that patients do not respond uniformly to anticancer therapies nor develop identical toxicities when drug dose adjusted weight and height. Several mechanisms have been incriminated including genetic background. Polymorphisms in genes of targets metabolism, whom many shown be functional, represent attractive candidates could provide insights for divergences outcome a given treatment. They are increasingly recognized as an important field study promising tool tailored cancer patients. In comparison classic chemotherapeutic drugs having multiple distinct targets, target polymorphisms recently emerged “targeted therapies” may even more impact on able select benefiting from treatment at risk toxicities. this chapter, we will discuss the most studies evaluated importance metabolism with solid tumors their daily clinical practice.
