Objective: To examine apoptosis as a measure of chemosensitivity to anti-cancer drugs in gynecological cancer xenografted into nude mice.
Methods: The TUNEL method was used to investigate the induction of apoptosis after exposure to anti-cancer drugs in thirteen gynecological cancers xenografted into nude mice. Moreover, in vivo sensitivities of gynecologic cancer to anti-cancer drugs were determined according to the protocol developed by Battle Laboratories, Columbus, Ohio USA.
