Predictive value of XPD polymorphisms on platinum-based chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

<h4>Background</h4>The correlation between xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) polymorphisms (Lys751Gln and Asp312Asn) and clinical outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, who received platinum-based chemotherapy (Pt-chemotherapy), is still inconclusive. This meta-analys...

Description
Summary:<h4>Background</h4>The correlation between xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) polymorphisms (Lys751Gln and Asp312Asn) and clinical outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, who received platinum-based chemotherapy (Pt-chemotherapy), is still inconclusive. This meta-analysis was aimed to systematically review published evidence and ascertain the exact role of XPD polymorphisms.<h4>Methods</h4>Databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched up to April 2013 to identify eligible studies. A rigorous quality assessment of eligible studies was conducted according the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scales. The relationship between XPD polymorphisms and response to Pt-chemotherapy and survival was analyzed.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 22 eligible studies were included and analyzed in this meta-analysis. The overall analysis suggested that the XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism was not associated with response to Pt-chemotherapy or survival. However, the XPD 312Asn allele was significantly associated with poor response to Pt-chemotherapy compared with the Asp312 allele (Asn vs. Asp: OR = 0.435, 95% CI: 0.261-0.726). Additionally, the variant genotype of XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism was associated with favorable survival in Caucasian (AspAsn vs. AspAsp: HR = 0.781, 95% CI: 0.619-0.986) but unfavorable survival in Asian (AspAsn+AsnAsn vs. AspAsp: HR = 1.550, 95% CI: 1.038-2.315).<h4>Conclusions</h4>These results suggest that XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism may function as a predictive biomarker on platinum-based chemotherapy in NSCLC and further studies are warranted.
