Scientists grow Mini-Tumors in lab to test chemo before giving it to patients

NCT ID NCT05351983

Summary

This study tested whether doctors could safely take small samples of a patient's pancreatic cancer tumor and grow miniature 3D versions (organoids) in the lab. Researchers then used these mini-tumors to test which chemotherapy drugs worked best against that specific patient's cancer. The goal was to see if this process is practical and safe, to help guide future treatment decisions.
