description

A translational study was designed to analyze the expression of nucleotide excision repair (NER) and homologous recombination (HR) genes as potential predictive biomarkers for trabectedin in soft-tissue sarcoma (STS). This study is part of a randomized phase II trial comparing trabectedin plus doxorubicin versus doxorubicin in advanced STS. Gene expression levels were evaluated by qRT-PCR, while CUL4A protein levels were quantified by immunohistochemistry. Expression levels were correlated with patients&rsquo
