Abstract: Precision chemotherapy is the prospective direction of cancer chemotherapy, which involves the selection of the effective chemotherapy regimens based on the chemotherapyrelated genes. Chemotherapyrelated genes include DNA repair genes, drug metabolism enzymes, drug transporters, apoptosisrelated genes and cancerrelated genes. These genes can predict the response and toxicity of chemotherapy, and determine the clinical outcome.

Key words: Neoplasms, Drug therapy, Precision Medicine
