Mini-cancers Utilization as Decision Tools for Personalized Cancer Drug Regimens
Case ID:
C14489

The present invention includes methods for identifying chemotherapy treatments specifically suited for each cancer patient. The methods include obtaining a biopsy from the cancer patient; establishing a cancer culture from the biopsy; mixing the cancer culture with a matrix forming mini cancers. The mini cancers are then used to screen chemotherapy agents by identifying those agents that completely stop mini cancer growth, inhibit mini cancer growth, and/or inhibit invasion of the mini cancers in a surrounding extracellular matrix. Since the mini cancers are derived from the patient, only the most effective chemotherapy agent(s) will be chosen to treat the cancer patient; minimizing the length of chemotherapy treatment, the cost of such treatments, and patient related illness.
