Abstract

BACKGROUND: T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires provide insights into tumor immunology, yet their variations across digestive system cancers are not well understood. Characterizing TCR differences between colorectal cancer (CRC) and gastric cancer (GC), as well as developing machine learning models to distinguish cancer types, metastatic status, and disease stages are crucial for guiding clinical practices.
