Abstract

Functional precision oncology-a strategy based on perturbing primary tumor cells from cancer patients-could provide a road forward for personalized treatment. Here, we present a comprehensive protocol covering generation and culture of patient-derived colorectal organoids, isolation and expansion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and isolation and culture of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). With this protocol, samples fulfilling the demands for performing multi-omics analysis, e.g., RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), whole-exome sequencing (WES), single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and (phospho-)proteomics, can be generated. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Plattner et al. (2023).1.
