“…PDXOs overcome some of the limitations of PDXs and are considered "biologically equivalent" or interchangeable due to several key observations. Firstly, they are similar to PDOs, which have been shown to display similar histo-/molecular pathology to the original patient tumors (Calandrini et al, 2020;Sachs et al, 2018;Vlachogiannis et al, 2018;Yao et al, 2020), PDXO and PDX H&E sections demonstrated that each PDXO preserved the histopathology of the parental PDX from different cancers such as lung, colon, gastric, liver, breast, ovarian, and melanoma (Arena et al, 2020;Beshiri et al, 2018;Corso et al, 2019;Guillen et al, 2022;Lee et al, 2020;Schütte et al, 2017;Shi et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2021). Secondly, the genomic DNA and gene expression analysis of PDXO/PDX across these different cancer types showed high concordance.…”
