The percentages shown indicate the number of samples in which CYP enzymes could be detected, with in parentheses the total amount of samples/patients analyzed. (+) indicates CYP enzymes were expressed, but the exact number of positive samples was not described or presented as immunoreactivity score. (−) indicates not measured. P values indicate higher proportion, immunoreactivity score, or expression level compared to respective tumor/non-tumor sample, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001

BLQ below limit of quantification

aOnly CYP3A4

bOnly CYP3A5

cOnly CYP2C8

dPercentage indicates a fraction of tumors with moderate/high expression

eOriginal data from publication received from the authors

fNo distinction between tumor and non-tumor tissue

gPercentages for primary ovarian cancer and peritoneal metastases, respectively
