Generation and Maintenance of Patient-Derived Endometrial Cancer Organoids

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the leading cause of gynecologic cancer morbidity and mortality in the U.S. Despite advancements in cancer research, EC death rates are increasing, particularly high-grade endometrial cancers. The development of three-dimensional (3D) patient-derived organoid (PDO) models for EC is crucial, as they provide a more accurate representation of the biological and genetic complexity of a patient’s tumor compared to traditional 2D cell lines. Here, we describe a protocol for cultivating PDO models from normal endometrium and EC across different EC subtypes. These EC PDO models can be expanded across multiple passages and facilitate the exploration of tumor behavior and drug responses, thereby advancing our understanding of the disease and potentially leading to more effective and individualized novel therapeutic strategies.
