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