Chicken eggs used to grow patient cancer cells in new study

This study tested a new automated method to grow cancer cells from patients with metastatic cancers (like prostate, breast, lung) inside chicken eggs. The goal was to see if this system could successfully grow tumors from patient samples, which could help doctors study cancer and test treatments more quickly and cheaply than using mice. The study involved 101 adults and focused on whether the automated process could achieve a growth rate of at least 50%.
