Description
Yan Xiao and five co-authors tested in 2026 whether a blood-flow map of liver tumors can warn when a common treatment will stop working. The treatment threads chemotherapy into the tumor's artery, but some tumors turn refractory. One hundred seventy-six patients with inoperable liver cancer had detailed scans before treatment.
The team divided each tumor into habitats, inner zones with like behavior, once with a plain scan and once adding a map of arterial blood supply. Combined with lab and image traits, the richer habitats predicted resistance better. Earlier warning lets doctors switch strategies before wasted rounds.
