Drug sensitivity in cancer cell lines is not tissue-specific
15 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cancer cell lines have a prominent role in the initial stages of drug discovery, facilitating high-throughput screening of potential drugs. However, their clinical relevance remains controversial. FINDINGS: We assess whether drug sensitivity in cancer cell lines is able to discriminate tissue specificity. We find that cancer-specific drugs do not show higher efficacies in cell lines representing the...
