Noninvasive molecular imaging signatures of histopathological growth patterns in colorectal cancer liver metastases

Irina Vierasu, Francesco Sclafani, Jean‐Luc Van Laethem, Wendy Delbart et al.

Colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) are characterized by distinct histopathological growth patterns (HGPs), desmoplastic (dHGP) also called encapsulated, replacement (rHGP) and pushing (pHGP) types, which have major prognostic and therapeutic implications. HGPs can only be determined histologically after surgical resection. This review explores molecular imaging as a pote…
