In cancer research, in vitro and in vivo tests are often used in tandem to provide a comprehensive understanding of a potential treatment:
Initial Screening: In vitro tests are used for high-throughput screening of compounds to identify potential anticancer agents. Mechanistic Insights: Detailed in vitro studies help elucidate the mechanisms of action for promising compounds. Validation: In vivo tests are then conducted to confirm the efficacy and safety of these compounds in a more complex, biologically relevant context.
