RESUMEN
The collagen gel droplet-embedded culture drug sensitivity test (CD-DST) identifies effective anticancer drug using resected tumor specimen, enabling tailor-made chemotherapy for a rare tumor. We report a case of the patient with leiomyosarcoma originating in the inferior vena cava, to which CD-DST was applied. This application has not been previously reported to the best of our knowledge. A 61-year-old woman consulted a nearby hospital because of abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed an inferior vena cava tumor. The tumor was resected with the inferior vena cava, which was reconstructed with a 16 mm ePTFE graft. The tumor was diagnosed as leiomyosarcoma histopathologically. CDDP, VP-16, ADR, and VDS were CD-DST showed the tumor to be sensitive. Her postoperative course has been good without recurrence of tumor for 6 months, and the results of CD-DST may be helpful for chemotherapy strategy in case of recurrence.
RESUMEN
It makes review on the application of CD-DST on clinical treatment and sci-research of the carcinoma of large intestine from its technological principle and characteristics.It views that as an advanced test technology of medical allergy in vitro, there’s successful report in clinical treatment and concerned scientific study of tumor, however, it’s mainly used in lung cancer and gynecological tumor, the application in the carcinoma of large intestine waits for promotion.
