“…Patients achieved an RR of 44% and the 1-year OS and PFS rates were 59% (median, 13.3 months) and 14% (median, 6.6 months), respectively. The results from this study compared favorably with those of another phase II study of uncustomized treatment in similar patient populations (RR, 24%; median OS, 6.7 months) (Chiappori et al, 2005). Collectively, these data suggest that the identification of patients with low expressions of ERCC1 and RRM1 allows for a strategy of individualized chemotherapy in this population, which may result in an improved outcome (Huang et al, 2006;Simon et al, 2007).…”
