Description
Summary:This monograph covers the latest information on the role of human tumour xenografts in the development of anticancer drugs. This model has been used in various experimental studies on human tumour morphology, biology, biochemistry and antitumour therapy. Due to the fact that each individual tumour largely retains its characteristics through serial transplantation in the immune-deficient mouse, this model proves to be particulary valuable in the development of anticancer drugs. The discussion is based on a meeting of the European School of Oncology and the conclusions reached seem to warrant a pilot study for preclinical phase II studies.
