Answer:

Medications can be tested on cell cultures instead of being injected into patients unnecessarily.

Cancer cells continue to grow in the cultures uncontrollably allowing scientists to test multiple medications on the cancer cells.

Specific treatments that are shown to fight the growth of cancer cells in the culture can be used on patients.

Cultures are safer to use than injections of unneeded medications into patients.

Answer:

The benefits to use tissue culture to study medication used for treating cancer cells is to observe to details effects of that medicine invitro.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are various medicines develop by medical science, maximum of them are highly toxic to both normal cell and cancer cell.The most important think to be kept in mind during studying the effects of medications or drug used to treat cancer is that normal body cells should not be affected by that drug.

To avoid this risk the effect of medication or drugs on cancer cell is studied by using tissue culture technique because if the drug adversely effect the normal cells of the tissue culture system,the cell will die but new cell can be regenerated by using hematopoietic stem cells which is not possible invivo.
