Xenograft models are instrumental in cancer research for several reasons:
Mimicking Human Cancer: These models closely mimic human tumor biology, providing a relevant environment to study tumor behavior and treatment responses.
Drug Screening: Xenografts are widely used to screen potential anticancer drugs before clinical trials, helping to identify the most promising candidates.
Understanding Metastasis: Researchers use xenografts to study the mechanisms of metastasis, the process by which cancer spreads from its original site to other parts of the body.
Personalized Medicine: Personalized xenograft models, where a patientâs own tumor cells are used, can predict individual responses to specific treatments.
