Background:

Cancer research traditionally relies on 2D cultures or animal models, which have limitations in mimicking the complex tumor microenvironment.
Tumor tissue engineering (TTE) offers a novel approach to create more physiologically relevant 3D cancer models.
Developing advanced in vitro models is essential for understanding cancer biology and accelerating drug discovery.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the current state and emerging applications of bioreactor technology in tumor tissue engineering (TTE).
To highlight the design and development of complex tissue engineering constructs (TECs) for simulating malignant neoplasms.
To discuss the role of bioreactors in optimizing culture conditions and controlling the development of in vitro tumor models.

Main Methods:

Analysis of popular bioreactor types utilized in TTE.
Review of the components of tissue engineering constructs (TECs), including cancer cells, scaffolds, and tumor microenvironment elements.
Discussion of the in vitro maintenance and properties of engineered tumor models.

Main Results:

Bioreactor technology is identified as a key enabler for successful TTE, facilitating realistic simulation and long-term maintenance of tumor properties.
Various bioreactor types are evaluated for their suitability in supporting the development and function of tumor TECs.
Emerging applications of TTE in cancer research, diagnosis, and treatment development are explored.

Conclusions:

TTE, supported by advanced bioreactor systems, provides a powerful platform for in vitro cancer modeling.
This technology holds significant promise for advancing cancer biology research and facilitating the development of novel cancer therapies.
Optimized bioreactor-based TTE can lead to more accurate preclinical testing of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
