Intratumoral heterogeneity drives therapy resistance and relapses in advanced stage cancers, such as ovarian cancer. Here, we present a live cell imaging assay using patient-derived ovarian cancer organoids for real time capture and quantification of natural killer cell-mediated apoptotic events in >500 organoids simultaneously. Our assay revealed significant inter- and intratumor response heterogeneity and identified a rare resistant organoid population, opening avenues to test immunomodulatory strategies that overcome resistance.
