The enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect in human solid tumors is being increasingly questioned due to the failure of many nanomedicines in their clinical translation. Herein, we developed an ex vivo perfusion model for real-time investigation of the EPR effect in human renal tumors via X-ray computed tomography (CT), proving the EPR in human solid tumors and correlating the EPR effect in human tumors with that in animal models. Unexpectedly, more than 87 % of human renal tumors displayed a considerable EPR effect, which yet showed significant diversity and heterogeneity in different patients. For the first time, we unraveled that the EPR effect in renal tumors was positively correlated with the tumor size, and tumors from male patients exhibited a significantly higher EPR effect. This ex vivo model provides an efficient strategy for investigating the EPR effect in human tumors. Our results may provide a theoretical basis for the development of anticancer nanomedicines in the future. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
