Colorectal Cancer Organoid–Stroma Biobank Allows Subtype-Specific Assessment of Individualized Therapy Responses

Abstract

Systematic characterization of the organoid-stroma biobank provides a resource for context dependency in colorectal cancer. We demonstrate a colorectal cancer subtype memory of PDTOs that is independent of specific driver mutations. Our data underscore the importance of functional profiling in cocultures for improved preclinical testing and identification of stromal resistance mechanisms.
