Tumors expressing high levels of CYP3A4 are likely to have a poor treatment response to docetaxel (DOC), which is metabolized by CYP3A4. Tissue samples of recurrent breast cancer are sometimes hard to obtain just before treatment because the tumor is often difficult to access. Using immunohistochemistry, we measured CYP3A4 expression in primary lesions and compared their treatment responses to DOC with those of recurrent breast cancer lesions.
