[Investigations for using cell- and organ culture in sensibility tests for cytostatics in human ovarial-carcinomas (author's transl)].

Comparison was proved from meaning of cell culture and organ culture in therapeutic sensibility tests for cytostatics in ten human ovarial-carcinomas. The sensibility for cytostatics was determined with morphological criteria in cell culture and with the activity-patterns of some enzymes (lactate-dehydrogenase, NADH-diahorase) in organ culture. In these investigations the tumors have shown approximate conformity in the state to cytostatic-sensibility as seen with the two different methods. It seems to be possible, according to these investigations, to use enzyme-histochemical parameters from organ culture for inquiry of cytostatic-sensibility of tumors.
