Success rate of hepatocellular carcinoma organoids integrated with host gut microbiota and peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to create hepatocellular carcinoma organoids from liver bioptic samples of individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • the feasibility of hepatocellular carcinoma organoids integrated with host gut microbiota and peripheral blood mononuclear cells
  • the molecular pattern of the organoid tumor microenvironment
  • the in vitro therapeutic response of hepatocellular carcinoma organoids
