Abstract
The present invention discloses in vitro methods for screening candidate therapeutic and/or chemotherapeutic agents for in vivo efficacy in a specific patient. The invention also includes methods for determining the optimal dosage of a therapeutic agent for a specific patient. The methods include the use of cohesive multicellular particulates of tissue, rather than enzymatically dissociated cell suspensions or preparations, to prepare tissue culture monolayers representative of in vivo cell populations.
