Objective:
To describe chemoresistance and chemosensitivity of two ovarian cancer patients and influence on their medical outcome.
Settings:
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical Faculty Charles University Prague and University Hospital, Hradec Králové.
Subject And Method:
A case report of two ovarian cancer patients with defined chemoresistance/chemosensitivity of their tumors. We used WST-MTT-1 test for the assessment of chemoresistance/chemosensitivity.
Conclusion:
The chemoresistance/chemosensitivity assay would improve the treatment and prognosis of ovarian cancer patients.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
