In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) <em>in vitro</em> models have emerged as powerful tools to study OSCC biology and evaluate targeted therapies in a more physiologically relevant context. Advanced models such as tumor spheroids, patient organoids and microfluidic devices offer unique possibilities to reconstitute intricate cellular interactions, ECM dynamics as well as physiological gradients found in the OSCC TME. The 3D OSCC model provides powerful preclinical tools for drug screening and mechanistic studies of this devastating malignancy.
