Abstract Lung cancer is a serious global health issue that requires the development of patient-specific, lung model for surgical planning to train interventionalists and improve accuracy biopsies. Although emergence three-dimensional (3D) printing provides promising solution create customized models with complicated architectures, current 3D methods cannot accurately duplicate anatomical-level constructs tumor(s) which are applicable hands-on training procedure planning. To address this issue, an embedded strategy proposed respiratory bronchioles, blood vessels, tumors in photocurable yield-stress matrix bath. After crosslinking, patient-specific analogous produced, has tunable transparency mechanical properties mimic parenchyma. This engineered not only enables practical fine-needle aspiration biopsy but also necessary information, such as coordinates aspiration, wound depth, interference surrounding tissues, optimization.
