Abstract excerpt
Current genomic and gene expression analyses provide versatile tools to improve cancer chemotherapy. However, it is still difficult to predict whether each patient responds to a particular regimen or not. To predict chemosensitivity in each patient with colorectal cancer, we developed an evaluation method using the primary tumor-initiating cells (TIC, aka cancer stem cells) xenografted in nude mice subcutaneously...
