Emerging 3D multi-omics tumour atlases have the potential to reveal novel biomarkers and mechanisms of tumour evolution, advancing cancer diagnosis and treatment strategies.
- Why it matters: Understanding tumour evolution within the complex 3D ecosystem is essential for improving early interception and intervention in cancer, addressing a critical gap in current knowledge.
- What they did: Researchers review emerging spatial multi-omics tools and the development of 3D tumour atlases, aiming to capture interactions within precancerous lesions, tumours, and their environments over space and time.
- The result: These atlases may enable risk stratification, early detection, and new insights into molecular mechanisms, ultimately transforming diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in cancer biology.
