This study explores the role of Cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) as a mediator of chemotherapy resistance, particularly in patients with soft tissue sarcoma. It investigates the relationship between CYP3A levels and disease-free survival following ifosfamide treatment. Utilizing the erythromycin breath test, the study measures in vivo CYP3A activity and correlates tumor CYP3A protein levels with patient outcomes. Elevated CYP3A levels are associated with poorer survival rates, emphasizing the need for prospective studies to understand the implications of CYP3A gene induction in clinical settings.

Decreased ERMBT are suggestive of poorer prognosis. Elevated tumor CYP3A protein levels are associated with poor survival. No correlations with CYP3A4 or CYP3A5 SNPs. Prospectively studying patients for CYP3A levels in new clinical trial. Examining the role of CYP3A gene induction in cell lines. CONCLUSIONS
