Prognostic Impact of Spatial Niches in Prostate Cancer: Insights from Digital Spatial Profiling
Understanding Spatial Niches in Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer research has increasingly turned to the tumor microenvironment to understand why some tumors behave aggressively while others remain indolent. A key concept gaining traction is the formation of intratumoral spatial niches—microenvironments within a tumor that harbor distinct cellular programs, signaling networks, and immune landscapes. These spatial niches…
