CYP3A5 and colorectal carcinoma: Studying a CRC patient cohort, Buck et al. [29] recently reported an association between the response to irinotecan and the expression CYP3A5; in fact, they found a significantly higher intratumoral expression of CYP3A5 in patients with CRC who do not respond to irinotecan-based chemotherapy and thus suggested a causal role of CYP3A5 in tumor resistance.
