Aims:
Cancer patient's inherited genotype may influence his or her survival, but evidence for the role of these genetic differences in oral cancer survival has not yet been explored.
Methods:
The authors evaluated polymorphisms in the GSTM1 and CYP1A1 genes for associations with overall survival in 100 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) treated patients and 100 controls who were followed up for survival within 2 years of the date of completion of their treatment. Overall survival was evaluated in Kaplan-Meier survival functions and Cox proportional hazards models.
Results:
After adjustment for stage and histology, GSTM1null genotype was associated with shorter survival among OSCC patients, compared with GSTM1 present genotype. There was no association between CYP1A1 C genotype and survival in the overall study population.
Conclusion:
The study indicated a potential role for GSTM1 polymorphism in predicting the clinical outcomes of treated oral carcinoma patients.
