Abstract:

Organoids, as micro-organs with three-dimensional structures, can highly mimic the morphological structure and physiological functions of the source tissues, and cultivate tissue structures with stable phenotypes. Organoids are good models for basic and clinical researches. Organoids have great potential applications and can be used as in vitro models for various types of biomedical research. Organoids are of great significance in the research of growth and development, organ transplantation, signal transduction pathways, drug development, high-throughput drug screening, and individualized treatment of tumors. Studies have shown that organoids are novel and reliable clinical models for gynecological malignant tumor researches, which can play important roles in the precise and individualized treatment of patients. This article briefly reviews the molecular mechanism and drug screening of organoids in ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer and other gynecological malignancies.
