Core Tip The etiology of resistance to new targeted agents and chemotherapy is currently being investi­gated based upon the patients’ genetic profile in order to develop a prognostic model that could lead to individualized treatment. In this context, we studied the effect of thymidylate synthase (TYMS) polymorphisms that have been described so far, taking into account the presence of KRAS and BRAF mutations in association with the treatment. TYMS 3’ untranslated region polymorphism ins/ins and ins/loss of heterozygosity emerged as an independent factor that increases the risk of both disease progression and death. Regimens that included irinotecan had reduced risk of disease progression and death.
