Deskripsi
Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has a poor 5-year survival rate and lacks robust preclinical models for use in research. Here, the authors show that newly derived organoids recapitulate the transcriptomic, genetic, and morphological landscape of the primary EAC tumors and provide a platform to test drug sensitivity and study tumor clonality.
