Abstract

Organoid models are powerful tools for evaluating cancer immunotherapy that provide a more accurate representation of the tumour microenvironment (TME) and immune responses than traditional models. This review focuses on the latest advancements in organoid technologies, including immune cell co-culture, 3D bioprinting, and microfluidic systems, which enhance the modelling of TME and facilitate the assessment of immune therapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), CAR-T therapies, and oncolytic viruses. Although these models have great potential in personalised cancer treatment, challenges persist in immune cell diversity, long-term culture stability, and reproducibility. Future developments…
