New AI tool predicts cancer spread with surprising accuracy


Researchers have discovered that cancer spread isn’t random—it follows a kind of biological “program.” By studying colon tumor cells, they identified gene patterns that signal whether a cancer is likely to metastasize.

This could transform how doctors decide who needs aggressive treatment and who doesn’t.
