摘要
The amazing successes in cure rates for children with cancer over the last century have come in large part from identifying clinical, genetic, and molecular variables associated with response to therapy in large cooperative clinical trials and stratifying therapies according to the predicted risk of relapse. There is an expanding interest in identifying germline genomic variants, as opposed to genetic variants within the tumor, that are associated with susceptibility to toxicity and for risk of relapse. This review highlights the most important germline pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic studies in pediatric oncology. Incorporating germline genomics into risk-adapted therapies will likely lead to safer and more effective treatments for children with cancer. Clin Cancer Res; 18(10); 2791-800.
