Abstract

The tumor microenvironment (TME) contains cells that regulate medication response and cancer growth in a major way. Tumor immunology research has been rejuvenated and cancer treatment has been changed by immunotherapy, a rapidly developing therapeutic approach. The growth patterns of tumor cells in vivo and the heterogeneity, complexity, and individuality of tumors produced from patients are not reflected in traditional two-dimensional tumor cell profiles. On the other hand, an in vitro three-dimensional (3D) model called the organoid model is gaining popularity. It can replicate the physiological and pathological properties of the original tissues in vivo. Tumor cells are the source of immune organoids. The TME characteristics can be preserved while preserving the variety of tumors by cultivating epithelial tumor cells with various stromal and immunological components. In addition to having genetic and physical similarities to human diseases and the ability to partially reconstruct the complex structure of tumors, these models are now widely used in research fields including cancer, developmental biology, regenerative mechanisms, drug development, disease modeling, and organ transplantation. This study reviews the function of organoids in immunotherapy and the tumor immune milieu. We also discuss current developments and suggest translational uses of tumor organoids in immuno-oncology research, immunotherapy modeling, and precision medicine.
