We perform chemotherapy resistance testing to help us determine the right combination of chemotherapy drugs before our patients begin treatment. By testing which drugs will work for you, we can help minimize unnecessary toxicity and create the most effective chemotherapy regimen for your needs.
To perform this test, a sample of the tumor is removed and tested against a variety of chemotherapy drugs. If the tumor cells grow in the presence of a drug, there is a high likelihood of resistance to that drug. By testing tissues and drugs outside of the body, we can minimize complications and target cancer cells as aggressively as possible from the start.
