Gregory Sawyer: Using 3D models of prostate cancer to optimize treatment strategies for patients
Gregory Sawyer shared a post on X:
”September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month!
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men and remains a significant challenge for treatment.
At Moffitt Cancer Center, we’re developing 3D models of the disease in collaboration with medical oncologists, basic scientists, bioengineers and Integrated Mathematical Oncology.
This image shows a prostate cancer microtumor growing in the laboratory, with green staining for Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) and red-stained stromal cells with blue nuclei. Our goal is to use these models to optimize treatment strategies for patients.”
