There was a strong trend towards an improved success rate of PDOs from resection samples as compared to biopsies: 136/196 (69.4%) vs. 5/12 (41.7%), p = 0.06 (Table 3 ).

In conclusion, this study found a positive trend between age and successful organoid outgrowth in patients with HNSCC younger than 68 years and emphasizes the value of efficient tumor sampling to achieve successful PDO establishment.
