Abstract
Tumor cell lines and cultures are widely used in biomedical research. They are excellent model systems for analysis of oncological mechanisms and understanding the biology of tumor cells. Cell cultures are used to develop and test new anticancer drugs, radiosensitizers and radiotherapy methods. Clinical application of tumor cell cultures is directly related to development of personalized medicine. Using tumor cell culture in a particular patient, physicians can select treatment considering molecular genetic characteristics of patient and tumor. In addition, it is possible to choose the optimal drug or radiotherapy regimen with obvious effectiveness in certain cell culture. This review describes the advantages of such an approach.
