The sensitivity of LN metastases to anticancer drugs such as CPT-11 and platinum agents was investigated by assessing Topo-1 and Bax/ERCC-1 expression in patients who had stage III/Dukes' C colorectal cancer with ONCs. In the recurrence group (RG) (n=21), immunohistochemical expression of Topo-1 was high in 8 patients (38.1%), and low in 13 patients (61.9%), while the non-recurrence group (N-RG) (n=12) showed high expression in 1 patient (8.3%) and low expression in 11 patients (91.7%) (not significant; N.S.). Regarding the immunohistochemical expression of Bax/ERCC-1, high Bax/low ERCC-1 expression was observed in 6 patients (28.6%) from the RG and other patterns of expression were seen in 15 patients (71.4%), while high Bax/low ERCC-1 expression level was observed in 3 patients (25.0%) from the N-RG and other patterns were found in 9 patients (75.0%) (N.S.). PCR analysis of Topo-1 expression in the RG (n=13) revealed high expression in 10 patients (76.9%) and low expression in 3 patients (23.1%), while the N-RG (n=3) showed high expression in 3 patients (100%) and low expression in none (N.S.). With respect to ERCC-1, PCR analysis of the RG (n=13) revealed high expression in 6 patients (46.2%) and low expression in 7 patients (53.8%), while the N-RG (n=3) showed high expression in 2 patients (66.7%) and low expression in 1 patient (33.3%) (N.S.). These results suggest that tumor sensitivity to CPT-11 and platinum derivatives is similar in stage III colorectal cancer patients with ONCs.
