TGP (thermo-reversible gelation polymer) is a high molecular compound that has so-gel transmitting temperature of 221C Since solid cancer tissue grows in this polymer three-dimensionally, and fibroblasts scarcely grow in it, TGP is suitable for chemosensitivity assays for solid tumors. In this study, a chemosensitivity test using TGP was applied to recurrent gynecologic cancer patients in order to evaluate its utility and efficacy. In some ovarian cancer cases, expression of anticancer drug resistance-related proteins was also analyzed.
