Abstract Despite preventive measures and available treatments, cervical cancer still ranks as the fourth most prevalent cancer among women worldwide and remains the leading cause of cancer death in women in many developing countries. To gain further insights into pathogenesis and to develop novel (immuno)therapies, more sophisticated human models recreating patient heterogeneities and including aspects of the tumor microenvironment are urgently required. A novel polydimethylsiloxane-free microfluidic platform, designed specifically for the generation and ccultivation of cervical cancerous tissue, is introduced. The microscale open-top tissue chambers of the cervical cancer-on-chip (CCoC) enable facile generation and long-term cultivation of SiHa spheroids in co-culture with donor-derived cervical fibroblasts. The resulting 3D tissue emulates physiological architecture and allows dissection of distinct effects of the stromal tissue on cancer viability and growth. Treatment with cisplatin at clinically-relevant routes of administration and dosing highlights the platform's applicability for drug testing. Moreover, the model is amenable for integration and recruitment of donor-derived neutrophils from the microvasculature-like channel into the tissue, all while retaining their ability to produce neutrophil extracellular traps. In the future, the immunocompetent CCoC featuring donor-specific primary cells and tumor spheroids has the potential to contribute to the development of new (immuno)therapeutic options.
