✦ Synopsis
T determining the sensitivity of human tumors to chemotherapeutic agents prior to the clinical use of the agents has resulted in the development of a variety of techniques having growth, biochemical measurement, or nonspecific toxicity as the end point.1-8 Such in vitro techniques would facilitate the selection of a drug of choice for use in individual patients, thus maximizing the efficiency of clinical trial.
The use of biopsy specimens in selecting the most suitable drug may be complicated by the
