Gabriel Wasinger presented research on predicting lymph node metastasis in prostate cancer at ECP 2026.
2

The study aimed to identify prostate cancer likely to spread using molecular information from primary tumor regions.
3

Spatial transcriptomics was employed to measure gene activity in selected tumor regions while maintaining tissue context.
4

Machine learning models were trained to recognize patterns linked to lymph node involvement in primary tumor tissue.
5

The research is exploratory and requires further validation before clinical application.
