Brief Summary

Explore the clinical feasibility of using primary cell culture system to guide gastrointestinal cancer chemotherapy, and establish the correlation between ex vivo drug sensitivity and patient clinical response. Study objectives: Personalized drug sensitivity test for late stage,potentially operable gastrointestinal cancer using patient derived primary cell culture. Explore the clinical feasibility of using primary cell culture system to guide gastrointestinal cancer chemotherapy, and establish the correlation between ex vivo drug sensitivity and patient clinical response. The study will collect primary tumor tissues from stage III/IV gastrointestinal cancer patients who underwent emergency surgeries, and then establish the primary tumor cell library for ex vivo chemotherapy drug sensitivity test in order to:

  1. 1.Compare the ex vivo Maximal Inhibition Index(MI) and Drug Sensitivity Index (DSI) with patient's Overall Response Rate (ORR)
  2. 2.Provide research support for future clinical treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • ex vivo Maximal Inhibition Index (MI)

    The effectiveness of each therapeutic regimen was evaluated and quantified using the formula: Maximum Inhibition (MI)=N0/Nd, where N0 and Nd denotes the number of EpCAM+ EdU+ epithelial cells in the wells of control or withthe drug at concentration C0, respectively.

    1 month after the tissue acquisition

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Disease Control Rate(DCR)after chemotherapy

    3 months after chemotherapy

  • Progression free survival (PFS) after chemotherapy

    1 year after chemotherapy

Study Arms (1)

stage III/IV gastrointestinal cancer patients

EXPERIMENTAL

The study group (Personalized drug sensitivity test) was treated according to the physician's opinion. Tumor tissues are obtained during the surgery or via biopsy with informed consent, for the purpose of ex vivo assay.

Diagnostic Test: Personalized drug sensitivity test

Interventions

The patients underwent surgery to remove tumor and took out tumor specimens for research. The tumor cells were expanded ex vivo drug sensitivity assay. The drugs used in the study were 5-fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, and irinotecan at C0 = 10 mM, 2.5 mM and 0.02 mM, respectively. They were applied either as single agents or in combinations of 5-fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and irinotecan, or all three agents, or others. After 7 days of treatment, the tumor cells were stained with EdU, Hoechst and EpCAM with the Cell Quantitative Detection Kit. Images were acquired with an automated microscopic image-scanning system and analyzed with the built-in software.
