Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>In ex vivo LC organoids: viable and proliferating organoids after at least 2<br /><br>and 6 weeks in 50% of the samples.<br /><br>To assess viability and to confirm the origin of each tumor specimen, the<br /><br>specimen will be evaluated by analysis of non-necrotic tumor tissue in<br /><br>hematoxylin-eosin stained tissue sections and by determining proliferation rate<br /><br>on day 0, week 2 and week 6, using organoid formation and growth rate and by<br /><br>using whole genome DNA sequencing (~30x coverage (~100 Gb)). </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>We will analyse differences in solidity of ex vivo LC organoids between primary<br /><br>and recurrent LC tissue by using a Chi-square test with SPSS. </p><br>
