Drug screening with cancer cells
Developing safe and effective drugs to treat cancer involves intensive studies using various model systems including in vitro analysis with cancer cells. Cancer cell lines are generated from the tissue of cancer patients. Developmental drugs are then used to treat the cells in a laboratory setting where the effects on cell growth and death can be monitored.
