Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological cancer. Faithful research models are indispensable to the progression of understanding OC etiology and therapy. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for establishing organoid cultures from patient OC biopsies. The organoids reproduce primary tumor- and patient-specific characteristics including phenotypic properties and genomic aberrations and exhibit patient-dependent responsiveness to drugs. OC-derived organoids provide powerful tools to gain deep insight into the cancer's pathobiology and to screen patient-tumor drug sensitivity to progress toward personalized medicine. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Maenhoudt et al. (2020).
