How is 3D printing helping cancer patients? This question was originally answered on Quora by Keck Medicine of USC.

How are 3D printed models of the kidney being used for partial nephrectomy? Our studies show that patient-specific models benefit patients, students, trainees, and surgeons.

The model consists of a grid structure, 10 mm in width and length, made from gelatin, alginate and fibrin, which recreates the fibrous proteins that make up the extracellular matrix of a tumour.

Researchers at Tsinghua University have developed a new use for 3D printing that could potentially treat forms of kidney ...

Drexel’s Wei Sun, PhD, Albert Soffa chair professor in the College of Engineering, has devised a method for 3D printing tumors that could soon be taking cancer research out of the petri dish. Using a ...

Dr Olwyn Mahon on how she uses 3D models to understand tumour behaviour in urological cancers and why translating lab work to the real world can be difficult.

The model, which consists of a scaffold of fibrous proteins coated in cervical cancer cells, has provided a realistic 3D representation of a tumor's environment and could help in the discovery of ...

In this interview, we speak to Ishani Malhotra, CEO of Carcinotech, about their 3D-printed tumor replicas that are being used to better understand personalized cancer treatments.

Researchers have used brain cancer patients' own cells in a form of 3D printing material to make a model of their tumor to test the efficacy of potential treatments before using them for real ...

Tumor tissue cultures grown in petri dishes make poor models of how real tumors grow, and more importantly, how they can be killed. That's why researchers have 3D printed Hela cancer cells, and ...

A study introduces a 3D-printed tumor model, named 3MIC, to simulate the conditions that lead to cancer cell metastasis. Researchers observed how tumor cells acquire migratory properties.
