Which cell viability assay do you recommend for human oral cancer?

01 January 1970 0 2K Report

Hello everyone. I want to reach out to the cell biology/cancer researchers and ask for their advice on drug assays against oral squamous cell carcinoma. My lab is going to launch chemotherapy drug assays for OSCC, and we'll have to decide on a suitable cell viability assay.

Which one (out of so many to choose from) do you recommend for oral cancer cells? And why? Are there any specific benefits/limitations of that one compared to others you may have used?
