Key Points

  • Cancer invasiveness was effectively assessed using a 3D co-culture system in vitro, showcasing significant potential for research applications.
  • The co-culture disc system revealed differences in invasiveness, with stroma interactions influencing tumor behavior, suggesting complex biological interactions.
  • Assessment implemented an innovative in vitro assay to simulate the tumor microenvironment, capturing the dynamics of cancer cell interactions.
  • This model highlights the potential for developing targeted therapies, though further validation in vivo may be necessary to confirm findings.
