NCT00867711

Brief Summary

The aim of the present study is to investigate the molecular predictors of pemetrexed and carboplatin response in tumor samples of a series of MPM patients extracting the DNA and genotyping for the TSER polymorphism.

    one year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluate retrospectively the correlation between gene expression and polymorphisms in candidate genes and array-CGH data, immunohistochemistry data, and clinical data.

    one year

Biospecimen

Retention: SAMPLES WITH DNA

The paraffin-embedded tumor specimens of patients will be collected. The tumor RNA and DNA will be extracted and genotyping, gene expression and gene copy number analyses will be performed with validated PCR and array-CGH techniques.
