“3D printed tumor models can help doctors and surgeons to get a better look at and understanding of the masses that they’re going to be treating or removing from a patient’s body, and they can also help patients to understand their own conditions. But bioprinting actual tumors can tell scientists a lot more about cancer in general and how different types respond to different treatments.
A group of Scottish researchers made the news last year when they began 3D printing brain tumors using real cells and using them to study the effects certain treatments had on the cancer cells. Now a team of scientists in New Zealand is doing something similar, starting with the most common type of cancer in women: breast cancer…”
