Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. To better understand and predict therapeutic response in BC patient developing a fast, low-cost, and reliable preclinical tumor from patient's tumor specimen is needed. Here, we describe the development of a preclinical model of BC through the generation and ex vivo culture of patient-derived organotypic tumor spheroids (PDOTS) in a 3D microfluidic device. Moreover, the real-time screening of conventional chemotherapy agents on cultured PDOTS is also described.
