We conducted a prospective study to analyze the expression of the excision repair cross-complementing group 1 (ERCC1) and ribonucleotide reductase subunit M1 (RRM1) genes in 297 Chinese patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal of this study was to evaluate these genes as potential biomarkers for prediction of tumor response and clinical outcome.
