Abstract
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of peritoneal recurrence for gastric cancer (GC) is crucial in clinic. The collagen alterations in tumor microenvironment affect the migration and treatment response of cancer cells. Herein, we proposed multitask machine learning-based tumor-associated collagen signatures (TACS), which are composed of quantitative collagen features derived from multiphoton imaging, to simultaneously predict peritoneal recurrence (TACS) and disease-free survival (TACS).
