Review Comparative Study[Clonogenic assays in the evaluation of antitumor chemotherapy].
Clonogenic cell assays are a tool for the study of tumor cells. This article reviews some promising results limited to drug evaluation. ⋯ Studies on the CASSG/EORTC show the reproducibility of these techniques and their usefulness in preclinical drug evaluation. Routine use of these methods is limited by inaccessibility of tumor cells and no-growth rate.
