Thymidylate synthase (TS) and excision repair complementing-1 (ERCC-1) were known to be important biomarkers to predict a tumor response to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and oxaliplatin, but the relationship between these expressions and tumor response were still unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether the expression of TS and ERCC-1 protein predict a tumor response in patients with unresectable colorectal cancer treated with mFOLFOX6 therapy as first-line treatment. Fifty patients with unresectable colorectal cancer treated with mFOLFOX6 therapy were enrolled in this study. The expression of TS and ERCC-1 protein in primary cancer cells were examined using immunohistochemistry. There were no significant differences between response rate and the expression of TS or ERCC-1 protein (TS: p>0.99, ERCC-1: p= 0.50). There were no significant differences between progression-free survival time and the expression of TS or ERCC-1 protein (TS: p=0.60, ERCC-1: p=0.60). In this study, the expression TS and ERCC-1 protein may not be useful for the prediction of tumor response in patients with unresectable colorectal cancer treated with mFOLFOX6 therapy.
