EVALUATION AND TREATMENT OF THE MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE PHENOTYPE

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for detecting the multidrug resistance phenotype in vivo and in vitro. The invention particularly relates to methods of diagnosing the multidrug resistance phenotype by imaging, particularly scintigraphic imaging, in solid tumors in vivo or in tumors and biopsies in vitro. The methods of the present invention allow the diagnosis of multidrug-resistant tumor and other multidrug-resistant phenotypes without invasive surgical methods.
