The continuous advancement of molecular detection technology has greatly propelled the development of precision medicine for lung cancer. However, tumor heterogeneity is closely associated with tumor metastasis, recurrence, and drug resistance. Additionally, different lung cancer patients with the same genetic mutation may exhibit varying treatment responses to different therapeutic strategies. Therefore, the development of modern precision medicine urgently requires the precise formulation of personalized treatment strategies through personalized tumor models. Lung cancer organoid (LCO) can highly simulate the biological characteristics of tumor in vivo, facilitating the application of innovative drugs such as antibody-drug conjugate in precision medicine for lung cancer. With the development of co-culture model of LCO with tumor microenvironment and tissue engineering technology such as microfluidic chip, LCO can better preserve the biological characteristics and functions of tumor tissue, further improving high-throughput and automated drug sensitivity experiment. In this review, we combine the latest research progress to summarize the application progress and challenges of LCO in precision medicine for lung cancer.
