Genetic predisposition resulting in sinusoidal obstruction syndrome in a patient with resected sigmoid cancer on adjuvant oxaliplatin

Abstract: SUMMARYA Chinese man who had undergone a curative high anterior resection for sigmoid cancer was administrated XELOX (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. He subsequently developed sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) that resolved on discontinuation of XELOX treatment. Genetic evaluation determined that he had the GSTT1-null and GSTM1-null genotype, known to be an independent risk factor for developing oxaliplatin-induced SOS. BACKGROUND

“…Children are twice as likely to develop SOS after HSCT than adults [ 9 ] and even higher within the first two years of life [ 5 ]. Antineoplastic agents associated with SOS without HSCT are alkylating agents, platinum agents (particularly oxaliplatin [ 10 , 11 ]), and purine analogues [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. SOS was also reported after acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) induction treatment [ 13 ] and treatment with actinomycin D for nephroblastoma [ 15 ].…”
