Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant cancer type with high morbidity in Asia, and its current molecular classification is insufficient to predict therapy outcomes. Here the authors explore NPC subtype-specific response to therapy with a pharmacogenomics strategy integrating genomics and drug response of patient-derived organoids.
