| Abstract | Multidrug resistance (MDR) remains a substantial problem in chemotherapy. The purpose of the study was to investigate potential factors, including MDR genes polymorphisms, that could be used in qualification for second-line docetaxel therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients after failure of platinum based chemotherapy. Study group comprised of 58 Caucasian subjects. Evaluation of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) of ABCC2/MRP2 and ABCB1/MDR1 genes was performed using the High Resolution Melting (HRM) technique. TUBB3 gene expression was evaluated on RNA isolated from tumor tissue. Results with p value of <0.05 were considered significant. Factors associated with reduced risk of disease progression included good performance status (PS), long period between diagnosis and docetaxel treatment, and smoking for <10 pack-years. Disease control occurred more often in patients with G/G genotype of the ABCC2/MRP2 gene. Median overall survival was 4.25 months. Factors such as: good PS, disease control after docetaxel, long period from diagnosis to docetaxel, lack of significant weight loss, and third-line treatment were associated with prolongation of patients survival. Overall survival probability was significantly lower in patients with significant weight loss, poor PS, lack of disease control after docetaxel, and without third-line treatment. Factors that characterized the highest risk of survival shortening were: inability to apply third-line treatment, lack of best response to first-line therapy, poor PS, and C/G or G/G genotypes of ABCC2/MRP2 gene. We concluded that assessed factors had mainly prognostic and not predictive value. Finding reliable molecular predictors for second line docetaxel therapy requires further clinical trials. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
