However, other risk factors are required for the development of cervical cancer, among them, smoking and genetic susceptibility have been proven relevant. Enzymes named Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) are responsible for the metabolism of tobacco carcinogens and the genes encoding these enzymes are highly polymorphic. The objective of this study was to compare the frequencies of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null polymorphisms in women with cervical cancer and in women with no history of cancer, as well as the possible associations between such genetic polymorphisms, cigarette smoking and the prognosis of cervical cancer. The series consisted of 135 patients with cervical cancer and 100 participants without cancer. Genotypes were investigated by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results were compared using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, and survival analysis by Kaplan-Meier tests and Log-rank. Among the cases, the frequency for GSTM1 gene null polymorphism was 22,2%, and for the GSTT1 gene, it was 48,5%. Among the controls, the frequency of the GSTM1 gene null polymorphism was 45.0%, while for the GSTT1 gene null polymorphism it was 56.0%. Important association was demonstrated between smoking and cervical cancer (p= 0.0062; OR = 2.16). The results showed that the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes were not associated with cervical cancer in the population studied. In addition, GSTM1 genotype was significantly associated to a better prognosis of the tumors, decreasing the risk of metastasis (p= 0.014; OR = 3.45). The overall survival rate for the group was 78.5% and, when stratified by genotypes studied, survival was higher in patients with positive genotypes, indicating a higher risk of death in the presence of dual nullity (p= 0.031; RR = 2.458). / O principal fator de risco para o câncer do colo uterino é a infecção pelo Papilomavírus humano (HPV), porém, sabe-se que outros fatores são necessários para o desenvolvimento do câncer. Dentre os fatores estudados, destacam-se o tabagismo e os fatores de suscetibilidade genética. As enzimas denominadas Glutationas-S-Transferase (GST) são responsáveis pela metabolização dos carcinógenos do tabaco e os genes que codificam essas enzimas são altamente polimórficos. O principal objetivo deste estudo foi comparar as frequências dos polimorfismos nulos de GSTT1 e GSTM1 em mulheres com câncer de colo uterino e em mulheres sem história de câncer, bem como as possíveis associações entre os polimorfismos genéticos, o tabagismo e o prognóstico dos tumores de colo uterino. A casuística consistiu de 135 pacientes com câncer e 100 participantes sem câncer. Os genótipos foram investigados por meio de reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR). Os resultados foram comparados pelo teste Chi-quadrado ou teste exato de Fisher e as análises de sobrevida pelos testes de Kaplan-Meier e comparadas por Log-rank. Entre os casos, a frequência do polimorfismo nulo para o gene GSTM1 foi de 22,2% e para o gene GSTT1 foi de 48,5%. Entre os controles, a frequência do polimorfismo nulo no gene GSTM1 foi de 45,0%, enquanto para o gene GSTT1 nulo foi de 56,0%. Importante relação entre o hábito tabagista e o câncer do colo uterino foi observada (p=0,0062; OR=2,16). Os resultados demonstraram que os genótipos nulos de GSTM1 e GSTT1 não conferiram risco para o câncer cervical na população estudada. Além disso, o genótipo GSTM1 presente esteve associado significativamente ao melhor prognóstico dos tumores, diminuindo o risco de metástases (p=0,014; OR=3,45). A sobrevida global foi de 78,5% e, quando estratificada pelos genótipos estudados, foi superior em pacientes com genótipos positivos, indicando maior risco de óbito na presença de dupla nulidade (p=0,031; RR=2,458).
