Abstract: At present,most chemotherapy schemes for malignant tumors use the standard chemotherapy regimen recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network(NCCN)clinical practice guidelines,because they ignore the inherent heterogeneity of the tumor,resulting in low efficiency,high toxic and side effects,and high costs issues.Therefore,the realization of “individualized and accurate medical care” for cancer is a general trend.The sensitivity screening of chemotherapy drugs for cancer patients to achieve individualized precise drug delivery is one of the main contents of “individualized precision medicine”.The three-dimensional histoculture drug response assay(HDRA)is a method for detecting drug sensitivity after in vitro cultivation of active tumor tissue blocks obtained by surgical resection or biopsy.It not only has a short experimental cycle,but it also maintains the tumor tissue structure,heterogeneity and micro-environment,which have high clinical practice consistency,and it is a relatively promising technique for detecting drug susceptibility.Therefore,this article reviews the development history,clinical application and the future development trend of HDRA.
