Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics 2012 NovUnderstanding the metabolic, transporter, and genetic influences on the disposition of drugs used in chemotherapy is critical to individualization of drug therapy. Recognition of the importance of transporter-enzyme interplay, in which genetic variants of drug uptake transporters can change drug metabolism when the enzymes are unchanged, is an important advance in predicting appropriate drug dosage regimens for the individual patient.
