Organoids in the research of pancreatic neoplasms: cultivation, applications, and limitations.

Pancreatic neoplasms are mainly classified as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms, and pancreatic cystic neoplasms. As a three-dimensional in vitro culture model, organoid technology can faithfully mimic the tissue structure, cell types, and tumor microenvironment, providing an innovative tool for pancreatic neoplasm research. This review systematically summarizes the application progress and challenges of organoid technology in pancreatic neoplasms research.
