Description
Yunxi Li and co-authors borrow, in a 2025 study, the mathematics of landscape ecology to predict which colon cancers will spread later. After curative surgery, some stage II and III cancers return at distant sites. Scans hold clues in the tumor's spatial texture.
The retrospective study covered patients operated between 2016 and 2020 at one center. Software measured habitat patterns in tumor images, at patch and landscape scales. Statistical models tied certain spatial traits to later spread. Thirty-one of ninety-three patients developed distant recurrence. A landscape score built from the winning traits sorted patients by risk. Imaging that reads like terrain could flag who needs closer surveillance after surgery.
