Abstract: Platinum-based therapy are widely used in treating lots of cancers such as lung cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer and breast cancer. Although the efficacy of platinum drugs are quite notable in clinical practice, serious toxicity are inevitable. Clinical research have revealed that a wide inter-individual variability in the toxicity caused by Platinum-based therapy exists and this variability may partly due to individual genetic variations. 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 toxicity of platinum-based drugs.

Key words: pharmacogenetics, toxicity, platinum-based therapy
