Organoids in translation: a bench-to-bedside framework for pancreatic cancer precision medicine

PDOs have demonstrated strong feasibility and in vitro clinical correlation in PDAC; however, their clinical translation remains constrained by limited multi-omic integration, absence of pharmacogenomic modeling, and sparse clinical trial embedding. Standardization of protocols, adoption of harmonized and clinically relevant endpoints, and systematic incorporation of biomarker-driven co-clinical trial frameworks are urgently needed to transition PDOs from promising experimental surrogates to validating precision oncology tools capable of informing therapeutic decision-making in PDAC.
