1 Low ERCC1 expression in malignant pleural mesotheliomas treated with cisplatin and vinorelbine predicts prolonged progression-free survival. Vinorelbine ERCC excision repair 1, endonuclease non-catalytic subunit Homo sapiens
2 INTRODUCTION: The relationship between excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) expression and outcome, in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), treated with cisplatin/vinorelbine combination-therapy, was retrospectively evaluated in a patient population from a previously published phase II clinical trial. Vinorelbine ERCC excision repair 1, endonuclease non-catalytic subunit Homo sapiens
3 INTRODUCTION: The relationship between excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) expression and outcome, in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), treated with cisplatin/vinorelbine combination-therapy, was retrospectively evaluated in a patient population from a previously published phase II clinical trial. Vinorelbine ERCC excision repair 1, endonuclease non-catalytic subunit Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: Our retrospective study in MPM patients treated with cisplatin/vinorelbine suggests that low ERCC1 expression, evaluated by IHC, may predict longer PFS, a result that warrants further validation. Vinorelbine ERCC excision repair 1, endonuclease non-catalytic subunit Homo sapiens
