Abstract

Spatial transcriptomic profiling of cancer has enabled spatial delineation of malignant transcriptional heterogeneity, intercellular communication, and organization of microanatomical structures within the tumor microenvironment. This technical breakthrough paves the way for the development of precision diagnostic methods and targeted therapies.
