Observed differences in the tumour microenvironment provide a potential explanation for the superior survival of patients with desmoplastic colorectal liver metastasis.

B Background: b Patients with resected colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) that display only angiogenic desmoplastic growth (dHGP) exhibit better survival compared to patients with any observed non-desmoplastic growth (non-dHGP). This study aims to compare the tumour microenvironment (TME) of patients with dHGP and non-dHGP. [Extracted from the article]
