Orthotopic Transplantation of Breast Tumors as Preclinical Models for Breast Cancer07:45

Orthotopic Transplantation of Breast Tumors as Preclinical Models for Breast Cancer

Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models and transplantable genetically engineered mouse models faithfully recapitulate human disease and are preferred models for basic and translational breast cancer research. Here, a method is described to orthotopically transplant breast tumor fragments into the mammary fat pad to study tumor biology and evaluate drug...

High-Throughput Dissociation and Orthotopic Implantation of Breast Cancer Patient-Derived Xenografts

This protocol describes an efficient, non-surgical method for the orthotopic implantation of breast cancer patient-derived xenografts in mice. The technique involves enzymatic tumor dissociation followed by direct injection into the mammary fat pads, enabling high-throughput implantation. Comprehensive validation ensures model fidelity, facilitating rigorous studies across various breast cancer...

Invasive Behavior of Human Breast Cancer Cells in Embryonic Zebrafish

Here, we describe xenograft zebrafish models using two different injection sites, i.e., perivitelline space and duct of Cuvier, to investigate the invasive behavior and to assess the intravasation and extravasation potential of human breast cancer cells,...

Competing-Risk Nomogram for Predicting Cancer-Specific Survival in Multiple Primary Colorectal Cancer Patients after Surgery

The study found that male gender, poor tumor grade, and advanced Tumor Node Metastasis stage were associated with poorer cancer-specific survival (CSS) in multiple primary colorectal cancer (MPCC) patients after surgery. We developed a nomogram to predict the CSS of MPCC patients and contribute to clinical treatment...
