Description
Akseli Kehusmaa and a large team brought out a new score in 2026 that grades how ragged the deep edge of a bowel cancer runs, then tied that grade to gene traits. Ragged edges have long spelled worse outlook, yet older grades proved hard to repeat between readers. The new score counts how much of a hot spot at the deepest push point is support tissue and fat.
Two patient groups, each near a thousand strong, anchored the checks. High scores went with later stage disease, tumor buds, vessel spread, and a thinner guard of two immune cell types. High scores also forecast higher death rates from the cancer itself, apart from other risks. Gene work tied ragged growth to sound repair machinery plus faults in two known cancer genes. Silencing two loud genes in a lab cell line cut its push through barriers.
