Abstract
The histological growth pattern (HGP) of solid tumor metastases to liver is an easy-to-assess and integrative histopathological parameter of tumor-stromal interactions [1]. With preliminary data suggesting that theHGPof colorectal cancer liver metastases has prognostic value [2], we hypothesize that it also might predict response to therapy [1, 3]. To enhance pathological assessments, we organized an internationalmulticenter validation study within the LiverMetastasis Research Consortium.
