Tumor cells taken from nine people with myeloma, a bone marrow malignancy, and nine with ovarian cancer were exposed to varying concentrations of several anticancer drugs, then cultured in petri dishes. The researchers compared the effects of the drugs on the cultured cells with the patients' responses to the same drugs. In all but one case, the effects matched...
