In light of the emerging breakthroughs in cancer biology, drug discovery, and personalized medicine, Tumor-on-Chip (ToC) platforms have become pivotal tools in current biomedical research. This study introduced a novel rapid prototyping approach for the fabrication of a ToC device using laser-patterned poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) layers integrated with a polylactic acid (PLA) electrospun scaffold, enabling dynamic drug delivery and the assessment of therapeutic efficacy in cancer cells. Traditional drug screening methods, such as conventional cell cultures, mimic certain aspects of cancer progression but fail to capture critical features of the tumor microenvironment (TME). While animal models offer a closer approximation of tumor complexity, they are limited in their ability to predict human drug responses. Here, we evaluated the ability of our ToC device to recapitulate the interactions between cancer and TME cells and its efficacy in evaluating the drug response of breast cancer cells. The functional design of the proposed ToC system offered substantial potential for a wide range of applications in cancer research, significantly accelerating the preclinical assessment of new therapeutic agents.
