How can you grow malignant cancer cells in a petri dish?

It is actually hard: The nci-va program experiemented with "conditioned media" that always started with defined broth, added steroirs, insulin, and then just a dab of "plasma", the ecret sauce, to groth cell lines. The genome and molecuular biology has taken lung cancer research down a different trail.
