Abstract:Background: To develop a viable in vivo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model to study the growth and invasion of patient-derived Retinoblastoma (RB) and Choroidal Melanoma (CM) xenografts (PDXs). The study utilizes primary tumor samples instead of cancer cell lines which provides a more authentic representation of tumors due to conserved morphology and heterogeneity. Methods: Fertilized chicken eggs were procured, windowed, and their CAM layers were dropped. On embryonic development day (EDD) 10, freshly cut p… Show more
