Observational studies have reported controversial results on the association between GSTT1 and GSTM1 genotypes and treatment outcome of breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between GSTT1 and GSTM1 and treatment outcome in breast cancer patients. Eligible studies were searched in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. A random-effect model or fixed-effect model was used to calculate the overall combined risk estimates. Twenty-one studies with a total of 4990 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The GSTM1 null genotype (odds ratio (OR) = 1.33, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.01–1.75, P = 0.046) and GSTT1/GSTM1 double null genotype (OR = 2.22, 95 % CI 1.02–4.84, P = 0.045) were significantly associated with an increased tumor response. A reduced overall survival (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.84, 95 % CI 0.72–0.98, P = 0.024) was observed in GSTM1 null genotype, especially in mixed descent (HR = 0.77, 95 % CI 0.61–0.96, P = 0.018) and large sample size (HR = 0.85, 95 % CI 0.72–0.99, P = 0.033). Evidence of publication bias was observed in GSTM1 genotype rather than in GSTT1 genotype. This meta-analysis suggests that GSTM1 null and GSTT1/GSTM1 double null polymorphisms might be significantly associated with an increased tumor response. However, the GSTM1 null genotype might be significantly associated with a reduced overall survival. Future studies are warranted to confirm these findings.KeywordsGSTT1GSTM1Breast cancerTreatment outcomeMeta-analysis
