Abstract

Anticancer drug sensitivity testing using the collagen gel droplet embedded culture drug sensitivity test (CD‑DST) on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) samples beginning from 2010 has been conducted. The present study investigated the effect of adding cetuximab (Erbitux®), a molecularly targeted drug, on anticancer drug activity against clinical OSCC specimens. A total of 25 specimens were obtained from 25 patients with OSCC between October 2013 and December 2017. The present study conducted anticancer drug sensitivity testing for cisplatin (CDDP), 5‑fluorouracil (5‑FU), cetuximab, three‑drug combination, single agent and multi drug combinations, and cetuximab addition to the aforementioned regimens using CD‑DST. In addition, the optimum concentration of each drug was evaluated. The overall evaluation success rate of the CD‑DST method for OSCC specimens was 84.0% (21 of 25 cases); sensitivity to anticancer drugs and cetuximab could be evaluated. The in vitro efficacy rate of a cetuximab single agent and CDDP + 5‑FU (PF) at a cut-off value of 50% was similar to the known clinical response rate. However, at a cut-off value of 50%, the in vitro efficacy of PF + cetuximab was calculated to be 40%, which was higher than the clinical response rate. The CD‑DST method could be used to evaluate cetuximab, a molecularly targeted drug. Furthermore, its additive effect on conventional chemotherapy could be evaluated. The CD‑DST method is suitable for evaluating and selecting chemotherapy regimens, including molecularly targeted drugs. Future studies are required to generate and evaluate relevant clinical data.
