Abstract
A method of evaluating the chemosensitivity of a tumor to an anti-tumor agent in vivo is provided. The method comprises extracting a portion of a tumor from a human host and inserting the portion of the tumor into an immunodeficient mouse. The tumor portion is permitted to grow to a minimum preselected size to form a test tumor. An amount of an anti-tumor agent is administered to the immunodeficient mouse sufficient to determine whether the anti-tumor agent is effective in treating the test tumor. The anti-tumor activity of the anti-tumor agent on the test tumor is assessed.
