Tumor organoids modeling reveals timed responses and interplay of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer
Our modeling frameworks demonstrated high accuracy in modeling the heterogeneous therapeutic responses of PDTOs and provided insights into the dynamic killing effects and interplay between chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The modeling of therapeutic responses of PDTOs provides a valuable tool for optimizing treatment regimen and informing clinical trial design, thereby improving the efficacy of personalized medicine.
