Objective To explore the value of chemosensitivity assay in vitro on breast cancer. Methods In vitro chemosensitivity of 6 species of chemotherapeutic agents applied to 38 cases of breast cancer patients were detected by tissue culture-end point staining-computer image analysis (TECIA). Results The sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents commonly used in the breast cancer level from high to low was as follow: Doxorubicin (ADM), Paclitaxel (TAX), Vinorelbine (NVB), Cyclophosphamide (CTX), Cisplatin (DDP) and Fluorouracil (FU). Conclusion Drugs sensitivity experiment of cancer in vitro by TECIA has an important value to instruct clinical medication and individual chemotherapy for breast cancer.
