Abstract

This manuscript reports a user-friendly microfluidic platform for parallel chemosensitivity testing of live patient tissue, which we refer to as Oncoslice [1]. Oncoslice would identify a subset of therapies with the greatest potential for individual patients in a time frame appropriate for therapeutic decision-making and personalized medicine. Here we present a redesigned architecture of Oncoslice and new manufacturing techniques that will facilitate its fabrication on the larger scale necessary for clinical use. We extend our prior studies with normal mouse tissues to include testing with patient-derived glioma xenografts and clinical breast cancer biopsy samples.
