Methods of treatments based on the compositions and methods described herein are also provided. Noninvasive methods and kits are provided for assessing the efficacy of an anti-cancer therapy for killing or damaging cancer cells. Embodiments are used to determine the cancer-killing efficacy of an anti-cancer drug in a patient, to optimize the selection of an anti-cancer drug for treatment of a patient, to adjust the dosage of an anti-cancer drug for treatment of a particular cancer in a patient and for identifying useful anti-cancer therapeutics for any one particular type of cancer.
