Spatial mapping technique allows researchers to understand tumor architecture

Tumors contain many different types of cells organized in complex spatial patterns that can influence how the disease progresses. Because of this, it is hard to predict how a tumor will develop and respond to treatment. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are taking a new approach that combines geographic mapping techniques with gene expression analysis to visualize these spatial relationships inside tumors.
