Abstract

Breast cancer and Glioblastoma brain cancer are severe malignancies with poor prognosis. In this study, primary Glioblastoma and secondary breast cancer spheroids are formed and treated with the well-known Temozolomide and Doxorubicin chemotherapeutics, respectively. High resolution imaging of both primary and secondary cancer cell spheroids is possible using a custom multi-angle Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscope. Such a technique is successful in realizing preclinical drug screening, while enables the discrimination among physiologic tumor parameters.
