Abstract excerpt
The combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) plus Cisplatin (CDDP) (FP treatment) possesses synergistic cytotoxicity against colon cancer. The molecular mechanisms by which chemotherapeutic agents induce apoptosis have been clarified by identifying apoptosis-related genes such p53 and bcl-2. We previously established a new experimental technique in which cancer cells are distributed in thin collagen gel as 1 or 2...
