ERCC1 polymorphism predicts clinical outcomes of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapies in advanced colorectal cancer: A systemic review and metaanalysis
Objective: To systematically evaluate the precise role of the excision repair cross-complementing group 1 (ERCC1) polymorphism Asn118Asn (C19007T, rs11615) in curative effects and prognosis of patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy.
Methods: Qualified studies were retrieved from databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Wanfang and CNKI until January 31st, 2015. Literature published in English and Chinese were selected for metaanalysis on relationship between ERCC1 polymorphism Asn118Asn and therapeutic effects and prognosis of advanced CRC patients receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Data extracted from these articles included study ID, title, author, publication year, ethnicity, country, numbers of cases and controls, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate objective response with hazard ratios (HRs) using Stata software (version 11.0).
Results: A total of 13 articles were included in the study. Overall, meta-analysis showed no significant correlation between the ERCC1 C118T polymorphism and objective response (OR=0.78; 95% CI for 0.29-2.07), PFS (HR=1.70, 95% CI=0.92-3.14) or OS (HR=1.69, 95% CI=0.91-3.14) in advanced CRC patients with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Stratified analysis among Asian and Caucasian populations showed that the ERCC1 C118T polymorphism was not significantly correlated with objective response (OR=2.03 vs. 0.40; 95% CI=0.62-6.68 vs. 0.12-1.30), but was significantly correlated with PFS and OS. Moreover, Asian patients carrying T/T or T/C genotypes of ERCC1 C118T had significant shorter PFS (HR=2.41, 95% CI=1.86-3.11) and OS (HR=2.36, 95% CI=1.76-3.16).
Conclusion: In patients with advanced CRC undergoing oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, there is no correlation between ERCC1 Asn118Asn (C/T) gene polymorphism and therapeutic effects. Asian patients with T allele has shorter PFS and OS.
