Excision repair cross-complementing gene-1 (ERCC1) is a key regulatory enzyme whose expression patterns in tumor tissues are associated with survival in gastric cancer. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of ERCC1 expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) on the outcome of patients with gastric cancer treated with oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Tumor and PBL samples from 48 patients treated with adjuvant oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for gastric cancer were analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess the expression of ERCC1.
