I thought of having the Topo II test prior to taking Doxil. The Topo II test is used to see if your tumor will respond to Anthracyclines. I was told you need to submit part of your tumor for this pathology test. It is still a test that is considered to be new and unreliable; not totally recognized by some leading cancer centers.
I believe the Topo II test is conducted at the University of Southern California.
