Abstract excerpt
Tumor border configuration influences colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis, yet its molecular determinants remain unclear and existing assessment criteria have faced challenges with reproducibility. We introduce the Tumor Invasive Border Index (TIBI), a novel and reproducible method that quantifies the proportion of tumor stroma and adipose tissue within a hotspot at the deepest point of invasion. TIBI was evaluated...
