Spatial Conformation of Pancreatic Cancer Is Associated with Disease Recurrence after Curative-Intent Total Neoadjuvant Therapy

Luis Humberto Cisneros, Merih Deniz Toruner, Zafar Siddiqui…·Ryan Michael Carr

This paper quantifies spatial cancer-stroma topology in post-TNT PDAC and shows it independently predicts disease-free survival better than traditional response assessments.
