An important goal of any rational approach to chemotherapy should be t
he deployment of methods to evaluate the potential responsiveness of a
tumour cells prior to treatment, together with methods for obtaining
early indications of the effectiveness of a selected schedule. This pr
esentation dealt with the never applications of flow cytometry and las
er scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy (LSCFM) to the analysis o
f cellular factors that determine the cytotoxic potential of anthracyc
lines and related agents.
