The present disclosure provides methods for determining the sensitivity of cancerous cells to various anti-cancer therapies and predicting the efficacy of these therapies. Specifically, the present disclosure provides methods for predicting the efficacy of one or more candidate anti-cancer therapies in a patient, based on determining the sensitivity of the patient's cancerous cells after exposure to candidate anti-cancer therapies in vitro. The disclosure further provides methods for predicting the efficacy of candidate anti-cancer therapies by using an in vitro sensitivity test of the patient's cancerous cells and a surrogate in vivo efficacy test of the patient's cancerous cells grafted into a surrogate host. The disclosure further provides methods for selecting the most efficacious anti-cancer therapy(s) for a patient, thereby avoiding ineffective or unnecessary treatments.
本公开提供了确定癌细胞对各种抗癌疗法的敏感性并预测这些疗法疗效的方法。具体地说,本公开提供了基于确定患者癌细胞在体外暴露于候选抗癌疗法后的敏感性来预测患者体内一种或多种候选抗癌疗法疗效的方法。本公开进一步提供了通过使用患者癌细胞的体外敏感性测试和患者癌细胞移植到代宿主体内的代体内疗效测试来预测候选抗癌疗法疗效的方法。本公开进一步提供了为患者选择最有效的抗癌疗法的方法,从而避免了无效或不必要的治疗。
