Patient-derived lung cancer organoids for the selection of therapeutic options in an ALK-rearranged tumor

Background: ALK rearrangements are key targets in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Unfortunately, the optimal sequential strategy of ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) remains to be defined. Testing drug sensitivity in patient derived organoids (PDOs) could support a rational drug selection in this setting. Conclusions: We present clinical evidence that PDOs are an alternative tool in oncogenic addicted tumors helping to guide treatment decisions and increasing a more personalized sequential treatment approach.
