Abstract:Heterogeneity of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) represents a major hurdle towards personalized medicine. Efforts based on whole tumor profiling demonstrated that the CRC molecular subtypes were associated with specific tumor morphological patterns representing tumor subregions. We hypothesize that molecular descriptors depend on morphological heterogeneity of the tumor, a dependency that negatively impacts the efficiency of current molecular predictors. We investigated intra-tumor heterogeneity by morphology-guide… Show more
