Background: Platinum chemotherapy (CT) remains the backbone of systemic therapy for patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway plays a central role in the repair of the DNA damage exerted by platinum agents. Alteration in this repair mechanism may affect patients' survival.

Background And Objective: The role of genetic variants in response to systemic therapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is still elusive. We assessed variations in genes involved in DNA damage repair (DDR) before and after cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and correlation of alteration patterns with DNA damage and response to therapy.
Methods: Matched tissue from 46 patients with MIBC was investigated via Ion Torrent-based next-generation sequencing using a self-designed panel of 30 DDR genes.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological cancer worldwide. DNA damage plays an important role in cancer development, and the proteins encoded by XRCC1 and ERCC2 are important components of the DNA repair system. This study aimed to examine the relationship between the rs25487 XRCC1 and rs13181 ERCC2 polymorphisms and the risk of OC development in women from the Moscow region.

Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the recommended therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). However, the efficacy of MIBC for chemotherapy is only about 40%. Therefore, predictors of therapy response are urgently needed.
