Biopsy clues may predict cancer spread
NCT ID NCT03336658
First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examined tumor samples from 150 people with colorectal cancer to see if a specific feature called 'intratumoral budding' could predict whether the cancer had spread to lymph nodes or other organs. Researchers used a special stain to count these buds and then compared their predictions to what actually happened. The goal was to develop a more reliable way to assess cancer risk from a biopsy, potentially guiding treatment decisions.
