description ONCOBREAST-TEST is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that is part of the comprehensive care of a patient with breast cancer.: Chemosensitivity of cancer cells was assessed using the MTT test, morphological assessment of cells, LDH activity in the culture medium, and flow cytometry technique (apoptosis, proliferation, CD24, CD44, GATA3, cytokeratin, Ki-67). Diagnostic tools included panels of simple tests which could be used to accurately predict the chemosensitivity of tumor cells previously isolated from a patient, even before actual chemotherapy. The proposed procedure allows for a simple (based on MTT results, cell morphology, LDH concentration), minimally invasive, quick, and accurate assessment of the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to the drugs used and, to select the most effective treatment plan as part of personalized therapy. In a patient with NOS G3, the most promising therapy will be docetaxel with cyclophosphamide and in the case of a patient with NOS G1, paclitaxel alone and in combination with trastuzumab. The implementation of such a procedure would undoubtedly increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy, reduce side effects by excluding drugs that are ineffective before using them, protect the patient’s health, and shorten the treatment time, bringing economic and social benefits.
