Establishment of Advanced Tumor Organoids with Emerging Innovative Technologies

Tumor organoids have emerged as a crucial preclinical model for multiple cancer research. Their high establishment rates, stability, and ability to replicate key biological features of original tumor cells in vivo render them invaluable for exploring tumor molecular mechanisms, discovering potential anti-tumor drugs, and predicting clinical drug efficacy. Here, we review the establishment of tumor organoid models and provide an extensive overview of organoid culturing strategies. We also emphasize the significance of integrating cellular components of the tumor microenvironment and physicochemical factors in the organoid culturing system, highlighting the importance of artificial intelligence technology in advancing organoid construction. Moreover, we summarize recent advancements in utilizing organoid systems for novel anti-cancer drug screening and discuss promising trends for enhancing advanced organoids in next-generation disease modeling.
