Abstract: AIM: To evaluate the effect of the polymorphisms of excision repair cross-complementation group 1(ERCC1) and excision repair cross-complementation group 4 (ERCC4) on response and progress free survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy.METHODS: ERCC1 and ERCC4 were genetyped by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism. The relationship between response, progress free survival and genetype was analyzed.RESULTS: Compared with patients carrying C/T and T/T in ERCC1 C118T, carrying genotype C/C were more likely respond to chemotherapy(20.6% vs 29.6%; 77.8% vs 73.5%) , but there is no significant difference in response and progress free survival in patients at ERCC1 C118T genotype. Compared with patients carrying C/T and T/T in ERCC4 -673C>T, carrying genotype C/C tended to get less clinical benefit from chemotherapy(72.5% vs 81.0%), any associativity between ERCC4 -673C>T genotype and response, progress free survival in patients receiving cisplatin based chemotherapy was unfounded.CONCLUSION: Genetic polymorphism of ERCC1 and ERCC4 were not associated with response and progress free survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
