In vitro PDO pharmacotyping can inform PDAC therapy selection. We demonstrate improved outcomes including survival for patients treated with regimens well-matched to their PDO chemosensitivities. A subsequent prospective study using PDO pharmacotype matching could improve oncologic outcomes and improve quality of life by avoiding therapies not expected to be effective.
