After surgery, a tumour with its blood vessels can be connected to a pump and kept alive for hours or days, allowing drugs to be tested in genuinely human tissue.
Normothermic machine perfusion is standard in transplantation for livers and kidneys and can be applied to resected tumour-bearing specimens (for example liver segments containing metastases, or isolated limb specimens). Perfusion preserves vasculature and interstitial transport, so drug delivery, penetration and early pharmacodynamics can be measured in intact human tissue that no model reproduces.
