Abstract: Background: The polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may contribute to a variation in the DNA repair capacity, thereby affecting the risk of carcinogenesis and prognosis of colorectal cancer. Accordingly, the present study analyzed 14 polymorphisms in DNA repair genes and their impact on the prognosis for patients with colorectal cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
