Popis: The development of drugs to treat cancer is severely hampered by the inefficiency of translating pre-clinical in vitro and mouse studies into clinical benefit. Over 90% of drugs that progress through pre-clinical studies fail in human trials. Therefore, there is a critical need to improve the accuracy of evaluating pre-clinical drug efficacy through the development of more physiologically relevant human models. This is especially the case for pancreatic cancer, the 4th leading cause of cancer deaths with a 5-year survival rate of Citation Format: Daniel G.
