Breast cancer patient-derived whole-tumor cell culture model for efficient drug profiling and treatment response prediction by Chen, Xinsong, Sifakis, Emmanouil G., Robertson, Stephanie, Neo, Shi Yong, Jun, Seong-Hwan, Tong, Le, Tay, Apple Hui Min, Lövrot, John, Hellgren, Roxanna, Margolin, Sara, Bergh, Jonas, Foukakis, Theodoros, Lagergren, Jens, Lundqvist, Andreas, Ma, Ran, Hartman, Johan

“…The accuracy was further supported by the correlation between WTC-based test results and patients' clinical responses in a separate validation study, where the neoadjuvant treatment regimens of 15 BC patients were mimicked. Collectively, the WTC model allows us to accomplish personalized drug testing within 10 d, even for small-sized tumors, highlighting its potential for individualized BC therapy. …”
