CancerTest.org

CancerTest.org is blog for scientists and physicians interested in the field of Individualized Tumor Response Testing (ITRT), which, broadly defined, means testing “living” cancer cells and tissues in cell culture or organ culture to determine the “response” of the cells (or tissues) to putative anticancer drugs.  This information is most typically used to make treatment decisions involving drug selection for use in cancer chemotherapy.

ITRT has been variously known (and is still referred to by some) as “chemosensitivity testing,” “chemoresistance testing,” “chemoresponse testing,” “drug resistance testing,” cell culture drug resistance testing” (CCDRT), “cell culture drug response testing,” “functional profiling,” and by a variety of proprietary names. All comments will be moderated (peer-reviewed) by  the editors, but there will be no censorship and all comments and points of view are welcomed and encouraged.
