At present, the administration of chemotherapy drugs is largely based on physician experience and clinical guidelines. Clearly, a personalized solution would significantly benefit patients in the improvement of clinical outcomes. In this work, we used a spectroscopic approach in which a water-soluble tetrazolium salt (WST-8) assay was applied to patient-derived slice organoids. WST-8 would react with intracellular dehydrogenase resulting in the formation of formazan dye. The absorption at 450nm can be used to assess the viability of the organoids 5 days after initiation of organoid culture. With additional development, this approach may be used to improve the clinical outcome of patients undergoing chemotherapy.
