3D Bioprinting for Surgical Planning in Cancer

3D bioprinting technology has emerged as a transformative tool in cancer surgery, enabling more precise, personalized surgical planning. By creating accurate, patient-specific tumor models, 3D bioprinting enhances the ability to visualize tumor morphology, assess complex anatomical structures, and simulate surgical procedures before operating on the patient. This article discusses the integration of 3D bioprinting into cancer surgery, highlighting its potential to improve preoperative planning, guide tumor resection, and personalize treatment. By using bioprinted models, surgeons can better understand the tumor’s relationship with surrounding tissues, optimize surgical approaches, and reduce the risk of complications. The article also reviews the challenges, current applications, and future prospects of 3D bioprinting in cancer surgery.
