Important preclinical study in JCI insight from Mayo Clinic team: Culture media composition influences patient-derived organoids ability to predict therapeutic response in gastrointestinal cancers (#PancreaticCancer, #ColorectalCancer) insight.jci.org/articles/view/… Mind your media!

Pretty significant for precision medicine 💊 ❗️ A profound influence of culture media on PDO phenotype, significant difference in response to SoC chemotherapies, distinct morphologies, and transcriptomes between media within the same PDOs cultures

Still a lot of work to do to trust organoids: ⚠️Culture conditions impact drug response insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

In a recently published article in JCI insight Jason Doles (Jason Doles), PhD, and his colleagues evaluated a patient-derived organoid’s ability to predict clinical response to gastrointestinal cancers. Learn more: ow.ly/XBhT50LkNuC.

This year, Mayo Clinic had the honor of providing hope and healing to more than 1.4 million patients and their loved ones. Reflecting on 2022, I am proud of the ways we have created remarkable new ways to shape and transform the future of health care. Happy Holidays to all.

A 20y timeline on stage at diagnosis & survival in #PancreaticCancer. Per Cancer Statistics 2003, the five year survival of pancreatic cancer overall was 4%. In 2022 it is 12%. Most of those survival gains have come in localized (17% 👉🏽 44%) & regional (7% 👉🏽 15%) disease.
