Patient-Derived Organoids (Tumoroids)
Patient-derived tumor organoids or tumoroids are cultures of tumor cells that can be generated from individual patients. Tumoroids are generated from tumor biopsies or surgical procedures and can serve as models to understand patient-specific drug responses and investigate cancer cell growth. Tumoroids are highly valuable tools for cancer research, drug development, and personalized medicine because they reliably represent tumor heterogeneity, morphology, and complex genetic and molecular composition.
