Abstract

An association between the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C667T genotype and the risk of colorectal cancer, as well as a link between MTHFR gene polymorphism and thrombosis, have been revealed. However, the connection between MTHFR gene polymorphism and the risk of thrombosis in patients with colorectal cancer has remained to be fully elucidated. The present study investigated the link between MTHFR gene polymorphism and basic clinical data, postoperative D‑dimer (DDi), postoperative thromboelastogram and postoperative thrombosis in 591 patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer. Postoperative DDi, thromboelastogram and postoperative thrombosis were not significantly different among patients with colorectal cancer and different MTHFR genotypes. While the results were ‘negative’, the present study may help physicians understand that it is not necessary to detect MTHFR polymorphism for therapeutic purposes. Regarding the danger of venous thrombosis, more focus should be placed on the standardized procedural enforcement system for deep vein thrombosis prevention for patients undergoing pelvic and abdominal surgery.
