Human Neuroendocrine Tumor Cell Lines as a Three-Dimensional Model for the Study of Human Neuroendocrine Tumor Therapy

We present a simple agarose overlay platform to grow 3D multicellular spheroids using neuroendocrine cancer cell lines. This method provides a very convenient way to examine the effect of therapeutic drugs on the neuroendocrine tumor cells. It could also help us establish human neuroendocrine tumor spheroids for cancer...

Characterization of Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumor Spheroids Using Immunofluorescence

Source: Ear, P. H., et. al. Establishment and Characterization of Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumor Spheroids. J. Vis. Exp. (2019)This video demonstrates the immunofluorescence staining of small bowel neuroendocrine tumor spheroids. The spheroids are fixed, permeabilized, and blocked and are then incubated with primary and secondary antibodies. A dye is added to stain nuclei before mounting and visualizing them under a fluorescent...

Treatment of Liver Metastases Using an Internal Target Volume Method for Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) requires rigorous accuracy and precision for delivering high radiation doses per fraction to small treatment volumes to improve tumor control and simultaneously reduce toxicity. Herein, we present a noninvasive and clinically convenient respiratory motion management protocol for SBRT for liver metastases.

Establishment and Characterization of Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumor Spheroids

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) originate from neuroendocrine cells of the neural crest. They are slow growing and challenging to culture. We present an alternative strategy to grow NETs from the small bowel by culturing them as spheroids. These spheroids have small bowel NET markers and can be used for drug...
