Özet:
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer related death to date in both men and women. The overall five year survival rate for lung cancer is less than 15% and the outcome of patients is not satisfactory although new approaches introduced into the clinics. Thus, new treatment approaches are emerging. One of them is, targeting the tumor microenviroment besides the tumor cells. The tumor microenviroment consists of stromal cells that contributes positively or negatively to the tumor. In this study, the interaction between fibroblast, one of the major constituents of the microenviroment, and A549 human lung cancer cell line is provided by co-culture method and the effects of this interaction to the chemotherapeutic response is investigated in A549 cell line. As a result, it was determined that there is no differences in response of A549 cells to chemotherapy drugs in the presence of fibroblast.
