Predicting postoperative peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer with serosal invasion using a collagen nomogram
Abstract
Gastric cancer can metastasise to the peritoneal cavity; predicting in which patients this will occur is important for clinical management of the disease. Here, the authors use multi-photon imaging to derive a collagen signature of the primary cancer that allows the prediction of metastasis.
