Patient derived tumor xenograft (PDX) models are pivotal tools in cancer research, providing realistic and reliable platforms for studying tumor biology and evaluating potential therapies. By implanting tumor tissues from cancer patients directly into immunocompromised mice, PDX models maintain the histological architecture and genetic profile of the original human tumor. This fidelity makes them invaluable for testing the efficacy of new cancer drugs and for personalized medicine approaches. Researchers utilize patient derived tumor xenograft models to explore tumor growth patterns, resistance mechanisms, and treatment responses, thereby accelerating the development of tailored therapeutic strategies that hold promise for improving patient outcomes in clinical settings.
