Molecular characterization of colorectal cancer liver metastases with pure desmoplastic versus non-pure desmoplastic histopathological growth patterns using a targeted gene expression panel

The histological growth pattern (HGP) at the interface of colorectal adenocarcinoma liver metastases (CRCLM) and liver parenchyma provides important prognostic information. This study aimed to identify transcriptomic signatures underlying the predominant HGPs in CRCLM. We retrosp...
