An Overview of Chemosensitivity Testing

互联网

452
This overview chapter presents the importance of chemosensitivity testing for screening new therapeutic agents, identifying patterns of chemosensitivity for different types of tumors, establishing patterns of cross-resistance and sensitivity in treatment naive and relapsing tumors; identifying genomic and proteomic profiles associated with sensitivity; correlating in vitro response, preclinical in vivo effect, and clinical outcome associated with a particular therapeutic agent, and tailoring chemotherapy regimens to individual patients. Various assays are available to achieve these end points, including several in vitro clonogenic and proliferation assays, cell metabolic activity assays, molecular assays to monitor expression of markers for responsiveness, development of drug resistance and induction of apoptosis, in vivo tumor growth and survival assays in metastatic and orthotopic models, and in vivo imaging assays. The advantages and disadvantages of the specific assays are discussed. A summary of research areas related to chemosensitivity testing is also included.
