We conducted a meta-analysis to determine if MTHFR polymorphisms are effective biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient survival and pemetrexed (PEM) treatment toxicity. Because of data heterogeneity, fixed or random effects models were chosen, and pooled HRs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. No correlation between MTHFR 677 C > T polymorphism and progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) was detected in NSCLC patients; however, patients with the T allele benefited...
