Laboratory chemosensitivity testing of human bladder carcinoma

The variable sensitivity of similar tumors to cytotoxic drugs from patient to patient would suggest a potential role for a reliable laboratory method to identify effective as well as ineffective chemotherapeutic agents. While the known moderately responsive nature of bladder carcinoma to available chemotherapeutic regimens would seem to make it an ideal model tumor to apply such laboratory approaches in a clinical setting, further technologic refinements will be necessary if it is to become clinically applicable. © 1985 Springer-Verlag.
