Introduction Methods Results Results Neoadjuvant therapy has been introduced to improve survival in patients with localized esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA). Yet, the benefit of neoadjuvant therapy for patients with EA is still under debate as only about one third of treated patients respond to therapy. The identification of molecular markers that predict response will be critical to tailor the appropriate therapy for these patients. With ERCC1 118, XPD 156 and XRCC 1 399 we investigated polymorphisms of genes involved in DNA repair. We investigated tissue samples of 104 patients (94 males and 10 females) with a median age of 60 years (range: 29-86) with localized esophageal adenocarcinoma treated with 5-FU based neoadjuvant therapy at USC. A panel of ten genes involved in DNA repairs and 5-FU metabolism were selected. DNA was isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal esophageal tissue samples and germline polymorphisms were analyzed using PCR-RFLP and 5´-end [γ-33P] ATP-labeled PCR methods. Fisher’s exact test was used to examine the associations between polymorphism and complete pathological response. Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model were used for their associations with overall survival. In Cox regression analysis adjusting for TNM category, patients carrying XPD 156 A/A (p=0.01) and XRCC 1 399 G/G (p=0.03) had shorter survival compared to patients with XPD 156 C/C or C/A and XRCC 1 399 G/A or A/A, respectively. 31 out of 104 patients (30%) had complete pathological response. The median overall survival was 18.5 months (95% CI: 13.5-25.7). Single nucleotide polymorphism ERCC1 118T CC (p-value = 0.031, Fisher’s exact test) was identified as an adverse prognostic marker for response in univariate analysis. None of 11 carriers showed evidence of response. Adjusted p-value 0.01 XRCC 1 399 G>A Adjusted p-value 0.03 XPD 156 C>A Conclusions This data supports therole of functional ERCC-1 polymorphism as a predictive marker for response and may therefore be applied as a marker for tailored therapy. Further, XPD 156 and XRCC1 399 were identified as independent prognosticmarkers in localized EA treated with neoadjuvant therapy. * Greenwood SE + Estimates were not reached † Based on log-rank test § For two patients information of tumor differentiation was not available ‡ Grouped together for the estimates of relative risk and probability ± SE of 5-year recurrence and overall survival
