Top Evidence

Rank 1
drug screening evidence

Patient-derived lung cancer organoids as in vitro cancer models for therapeutic screening.

2019

Lung cancer organoids respond to drugs based on their genomic alterations: a BRCA2-mutant organoid to olaparib, an EGFR-mutant organoid to erlotinib, and an EGFR-mutant/MET-amplified organoid to crizotinib.

Rank 2
drug screening evidence

Human primary liver cancer-derived organoid cultures for disease modeling and drug screening.

2017

PLC-derived organoids are amenable for biomarker identification and drug-screening testing and led to the identification of the ERK inhibitor SCH772984 as a potential therapeutic agent for primary liver cancer.

Rank 3
drug screening evidence

Application of Cancer Organoid Model for Drug Screening and Personalized Therapy.

2019

The review is particularly focused on drug screening using the cancer organoid model, which is emerging as a better physiological disease model than conventional established 2D cell lines.

Rank 4
drug screening evidence

Establishment of patient-derived cancer organoids for drug-screening applications.

2020

The protocol provided may serve as a reference to successfully establish organoids from other cancer types and perform drug screenings thereof.

Rank 5
drug screening evidence

Drug repurposing screening and mechanism analysis based on human colorectal cancer organoids.

2024

The anticancer activities of drug candidates were further validated in the established patient-derived organoids-based xenograft (PDOX) system in vivo.
