Summary
This study looked at whether it is safe and possible to grow mini-tumors (organoids) from pancreatic cancer samples in the lab. Researchers took small tissue samples from 60 patients during surgery or a biopsy. They then tried to grow organoids and test different chemotherapy drugs on them. The goal was to see if this process could work in a real hospital setting, but the results did not change the treatment patients received. This is a first step toward using organoids to personalize cancer care in the future.
