Introduction: Irinotecan in combination with 5-FU is used as a „first line„ therapy for advanced colorectal cancer. We showed recently that the response to irinotecan in vitro is dependent on the p53 mutation status of the tumor: the p53wt colorectal cancer cell lines respond to treatment with a long-term arrest, the p53mut cells with a short term arrest followed by mitotic catastrophe and apoptosis. We investigated if the observed biological responses occur also in vivo and how they are reflected by the clinical response. Methods: Selected cell lines with a known p53 status (HCT116 and LS174T versus HCT116p53 k…
