| Abstract: | Purpose: Accumulating evidence shows that germline polymorphisms may affect survival in cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between polymorphisms in a group of candidate genes and survival with soft tissue sarcoma. Patients and Methods: We measured single nucleotide polymorphisms in the metabolizing, detoxifying, and DNA repair pathways in 120 newly diagnosed patients with soft tissue sarcoma. We assessed polymorphisms in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR-Arg554Lys), null variants of the glutathione S-transferase superfamily (GSTM1 and GSTT1), x-ray repair cross-complementing 1 and 3, and Xeroderma pigmentosum, group D (XRCC1-Arg399Gln, XRCC3-Thr241Met, XPD-Lys751Gln). We followed the patients for survival for a median of 7.6 years. Results: Cox proportional hazards models demonstrated that a polymorphism at codon 554 in exon 10 of the AhR was significantly and adversely associated with survival (hazard ratio, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.3 to 3.9; P < .01), even while accounting for major clinical characteristics such as tumor grade, tumor size, anatomic site, and patient age. Conclusion: Further study of the role of the AhR polymorphism is warranted. © 2004 by American Society of Clinical Oncology. |
