## Abstract While several studies have reported that thymidylate synthase (TS) tumour expression can be a reliable predictive marker of clinical response to 5‐Fluorouracil (5‐FU) for advanced colorectal cancer patients, only a few studies that searched for predictive factors of irinotecan (CPT‐11)
In several, but not all, previous studies, positive p21^WAF1^ expression has been suggested as an indicator of a good prognosis in patients with stage III/IV colorectal cancer. However, it is not known whether the same is true for stage B2 patients. The purpose of this study is to assess the influen
