Breast tumour organoids: promising models for the genomic and functional characterisation of breast cancer

Abstract excerpt

Until recently, established cancer cell lines have been used extensively in breast cancer research, due largely to the difficulties associated with the manipulation and long-term maintenance in culture of primary tumour cells from patients. The recent development of organoid cultures has provided new opportunities to model and analyse patient samples, allowing the propagation of malignant cells under conditions...
