## Abstract Thymidylate synthase (TS) is the primary target of 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU). A VNTR polymorphism in the TS promoter region is associated with the efficacy of 5‐FU‐based chemotherapy in colorectal cancer. A common G>C SNP at the 12th nucleotide of the second repeat in the TS\*3 alleles has
## Abstract A complex interaction of host genetic and environmental factors may be relevant in the development of __Helicocobacter pylori__‐related gastric carcinogenesis. We investigated the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms on the risk of gastric cancer (GC) a
