研究显示癌症在肿瘤中呈一致增长趋势 挑战了先前关于癌症传播的信念 Study reveals cancer grows uniformly across tumors, challenging previous beliefs about its spread.

来自科隆大学和基因组管理中心的研究人员发现,癌症在整个肿瘤中,而不仅仅是在边缘上,都一致增长。 Researchers from the University of Cologne and the Centre for Genomic Regulation found that cancer grows uniformly throughout a tumor, not just at the edges. 这一发现挑战了有关癌症增长和传播的旧观念。 This discovery challenges old beliefs about cancer growth and spread. 通过分析肝肿瘤的遗传信息,他们观察到突变分布均匀,表明肿瘤的所有部分都在积极生长。 By analyzing genetic information in liver tumors, they observed mutations spread evenly, suggesting all parts of the tumor are actively growing. 这可以解释癌症细胞如何演变以避开免疫系统。 This could explain how cancer cells evolve to evade the immune system. 该研究以ELIFE形式出版,利用空间基因组学技术和计算机模拟来绘制肿瘤生长模式图。 The study, published in eLIFE, used spatial genomics technology and computer simulations to map the tumor's growth patterns. 需要进一步研究,以了解较大和转移性肿瘤。 Further research is needed to understand larger and metastatic tumors.
