Drug resistance is one of the main causes of the ultimate failure of chemotherapy in childhood leukemia. I summarize the development and the results of a literature review on in vitro sensitivity in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), focusing on studies using the 3- (4, 5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2, 5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cell biological features and clinical response to chemotherapy are related to in vitro drug sensitivity. In ALL in vitro sensitivity to prednisolone, L-asparaginase and vincristine are significantly related to the clinical response to combination chemotherapy. In AML, however, an extensive study is required to establish the clinical value of drug sensitivity testing. Possible clinical applications of MTT assays include risk-group stratification, individualized tailored therapy, and rational improvements of current treatment for subgroups of patients with infantile ALL and with Ph1-positive ALL. The resistance profiles obtained by in vitro testing may be helpful in the rational design of further treatment protocols.
