摘要

Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized tumor treatment. However, robust and effective testing platforms remain lacking, especially for the selection of the optimized therapy at the patient-specific level. Unlike conventional treatment evaluations, testing platforms for cancer immunotherapy must incorporate not only tumor cells but also the tumor microenvironment (TME), including immune components. Recently, emergence of patient-derived tumor organoids (PDTOs), an in vitro preclinical model, has provided a novel approach for studying tumor evolution and assessing treatment responses, and shows great potential when coculturing with immune cells to study the mechanisms of immunotherapy efficacy and resistance. However, traditional organoid technology is limited in capturing the full impact of the TME on tumor behaviors due to the absence of stromal components. To circumvent these restrictions, complex organoid cocultures with immune cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts and vasculatures are developed. In this review, we summarized recent advances in PDTO culture techniques for modeling the TME and explored the application of complex tumor organoids in cancer immunotherapy.
