Patient-Derived Organoids of Colorectal Cancer: A Useful Tool for Personalized Medicine

Colorectal cancer is one of the most important malignancies worldwide, with high incidence and mortality rates. Several studies have been conducted using two-dimensional cultured cell lines; however, these cells do not represent a study model of patient tumors very well. In recent years, advancement...

description Colorectal cancer is one of the most important malignancies worldwide, with high incidence and mortality rates. Several studies have been conducted using two-dimensional cultured cell lines; however, these cells do not represent a study model of patient tumors very well. In recent years, advancements in three-dimensional culture methods have facilitated the establishment of patient-derived organoids, which have become indispensable for molecular biology-related studies of colorectal cancer. Patient-derived organoids are useful in both basic science and clinical practice; they can help predict the sensitivity of patients with cancer to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and provide the right treatment to the right patient. Regarding precision medicine, combining gene panel testing and organoid-based screening can increase the effectiveness of medical care. In this study, we review the development of three-dimensional culture methods and present the most recent information on the clinical application of patient-derived organoids. Moreover, we discuss the problems and future prospects of organoid-based personalized medicine.
