Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in the UK. Currently there is a lack of pre-clinical models to predict patientÂ’s response to treatment for prostate cancer. Identifying which patients will respond best to treatment avoids exposing patients to treatment side effects unnecessarily. Primary cell culture provides a translational model to predict individual patientÂ’s response to drug treatments. In this study, we develop a technique for isolation, propagatio...
