Abstract excerpt
We examined whether the X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) Arg399Gln polymorphism is a risk factor for bladder cancer by conducting a meta-analysis. We searched the Pubmed and Embase databases for study retrieval. This meta-analysis examined 16 case-control studies, including 892 prostate cancer cases and 1020 healthy controls. Meta-analysis results based on these studies showed no significant...
