Chemosensitivity assay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A chemosensitivity assay is a laboratory test that measures the number of tumor cells that are killed by a cancer drug. The test is done after the tumor cells are removed from the body. A chemosensitivity assay may help in choosing the best drug or drugs for the cancer being treated.
