Organoid-guided Personalized Treatment of Pleural Effusion

The study is a single-arm, single-center clinical research that utilizes patient-derived tumor organoids to predict drug sensitivity, thereby assisting clinicians in formulating treatment plans to benefit lung cancer patients with pleural effusion. This study is divided into three parts: acquisition of clinical samples from patients, in vitro organoid culture and drug sensitivity testing, and correlation of organoid sensitivity results with clinical medication guidance. Researchers obtained pre-treatment tissue samples and provided them to Suzhou Xianjue Biotechnology Co., Ltd. to establish organoid models. Once established, drug incubation was performed for sensitivity testing. Subsequently, treatment for malignant pleural effusion was guided based on drug sensitivity data.
