Abstract P5-06-02: Ex vivo CSC assays for personalized testing of drug susceptibility in advanced breast cancer

In the developing area of personalized medicine, targeted therapies are mainly based on genomic characterization of each tumor, and is currently proposed as promising strategies for advanced breast cancer (ABC). Despite the promises of advanced genome sequencing, many patients still fail therapy, resulting in disease progression, recurrence, and metastases. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) concept illustrates the non-genetic intrinsic resistance,...
