DNA repair gene and MTHFR gene polymorphisms as prognostic markers in locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or stomach treated with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy

DNA repair plays an important role in chemoresistance to platinum-based therapy, and therefore polymorphisms in the genes may modulate therapeutic response. We assessed 12 polymorphisms in 7 DNA repair genes and 2 polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene for association with disease response and prognosis.
