Experimental Cancer Models | Biomedgrid

Treatments in the field of cancer are continuously improving. No matter which model is used, using animal models in drug development research has become a necessity. Although cell culture and molecular biology have become prominent in recent years, the responses of metabolism to the drugs used have necessitated the use of an animal model in research. The use of spontaneous or transplanted tumors with chemical carcinogens is common in experimental cancer studies. In recent years, with the introduction of transgenic animal models, scientific and commercial developments are taking place. In this article, we will examine the methods used in experimental cancer models.
