An optical study of drug resistance detection in endometrial cancer cells by dynamic and quantitative phase imaging.

ABSTRACT: Platinum chemosensitivity detection plays a vital role during endometrial cancer treatment because chemotherapy responses have profound influences on patient's prognosis. Although several methods can be used to detect drug resistance characteristics, studies on detecting drug sensitivity based on dynamic and quantitative phase imaging of cancer cells are rare. In this study, digital holographic microscopy was applied to distinguish drug-resistant and nondrug-resistant endometrial cancer cells. Based on the reconstructed phase images, temporal evolutions of cell height (CH), cell projected area (CPA) and cell volume were quantitatively measured. The results show that change rates of CH and CPA were significantly different between drug-resistant and nondrug-resistant endometrial cancer cells
