A synopsis of prostate organoid methodologies, applications, and limitations.

Organoids represent a quasi in vivo modeling system that can be easily amenable to genetic modification and functional studies. As such, organoids may serve as an intermediate preclinical model for studying PCa. Future directions may include the refinement of culturing conditions to increase drug response fidelity in PCa organoids. The PDX-organoid interface model may enable the future establishment of primary and rare subtype PCa organoid lines.
