Before cancer spreads, distant organs are changed to become welcoming. A test for those changes would show which organ is at risk while a person still looks cancer-free.
Pre-metastatic niche formation involves tumour-derived exosome integrins, S100A8 and S100A9 induction, myeloid mobilisation and fibronectin deposition in the target organ. Candidate readouts exist (plasma S100A8/A9, exosomal integrin profiles, circulating LOX activity, neutrophil trajectories) but nobody has assembled them into a validated organ-specific risk assay.
