Scientific Abstract

Despite good overall response rates, there are also high rates of resistance under immunotherapy and targeted therapy in the treatment of melanoma. Thus, new therapeutic options are needed and we need laboratory test systems to allow a prediction of treatment response by therapeutics. 3D organoids can be a promising tool in this regard. Therefore, in this project, melanoma-derived organoids are cultivated as a test platform to predict in vitro tumour therapy response in vivo.
