摘要

We assessed the correlation between Multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) morphology and the oncological profile of lung cancer cells. MCTS were generated in five lung cancer cell lines and classified into Type–A MCTS, which showed strong aggregation, and Type–B MCTS, which showed weak aggregation. Drug resistance was higher in Type–A MCTS, and invasive ability was higher in Type–B MCTS. The oncologic profile of lung cancer cell lines correlated with MCTS morphology. MCTS morphology could thus be used in basic oncology research and as a clinical prognostic tool.
