Three-dimensional cell culture methods are able to confer new predictive relevance to in vitro tumor models.In particular, the 3D multicellular tumor spheroids model is vintage considered to better resemble tumor complexity associated with drug resistance compared to the 2D monolayer model.Recent advances in 3D printing techniques and suitable biom
