Abstract: Platinum-based drugs are widely used to treat lung cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer and other cancers. However, the efficacy of platinum drugs are often restricted due to many serious side effects, especially neurotoxicity. There is a large of interindividual variability in platinum-based drugs induced neurotoxicity. It is thought that drug metabolism-related genetic mutation is one of the important reasons. This review summarizes the relationship between the polymorphisms of genes encoding platinum-based drug transporters, platinum-based drug-metabolizing enzymes and DNA repair enzymes and neurotoxicity of platinum-based drugs.

Key words: Pharmacogenetics, Neurotoxicity, Platinum-based drugs
