Assessment of quality of care in an oncology institute using information on patients' satisfaction.

abstract：:A multidrug-resistant (MDR) cell line isolated from HOB1 lymphoma cells was characterized. The MDR phenotype in this cell line was typified by resistance to vincristine with varying degrees of cross-resistance to Adriamycin, colcemid and actinomycin D. Decreased intracellular [3H]vincristine with concurrent increase i...
