Abstract

There are few available models to study neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Here they develop and characterize patient derived organoids from metastatic lesions, use these models to show the role of EZH2 in driving neuroendocrine phenotype, and perform high throughput organoid screening to identify therapeutic drug combinations.
