Abstract excerpt
Studies investigating the association of polymorphisms in the 5'-untranslated regions (5'UTR) and 3'-untranslated regions (3'UTR) of thymidylate synthase with gastric cancer susceptibility and sensitivity to fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy report conflicting results. The objective of this study was to quantitatively summarize the evidence for such a relationship. This meta-analysis included ten studies, which...
