The correct answer is B. Medications can be tested on the cancer culture before being injected into the patient.

The study of cancer relies a great deal on the use of cell cultures. Growing cancer cells in the laboratory is a good way to learn about not only the properties of a particular type of cancer but also what medicines can be used and if they even work to kill the cells.
