Platinum-based chemoradiotherapy (CRT) as bladder conservation therapy has shown promising results for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. However, treatment-related toxicity remains a major consideration in therapeutic planning. Some common polymorphisms in genes involved in DNA repair (encoding enzymes that repair DNA damaged by platinum agents and ionizing radiation) are reported to result in modulation of the repair capacity. We investigated associations between functional genetic polymorphisms involved in DNA repair and acute toxicity of CRT to determine the predictive value of these polymorphisms for toxicity.
