Abstract excerpt
Biological parameters influencing the response of human colorectal cancers (CRCs) to CPT-11, a topoisomerase 1 (top1) inhibitor, were investigated using a panel of nine CRCs xenografted into nude mice. CRC xenografts differed in their p53 status (wt or muf) and in their microsatellite instability phenotype (MSI+ when altered). Five CRC xenografts were established from clinical samples. All five had a functional...
