3D multi-omics tumour atlases: from technology to biology and clinical translation.

New mapping technologies reveal tumor structure at multiple biological levels simultaneously, creating a clearer blueprint for designing personalized cancer treatments.

This Nature Reviews Cancer review synthesizes the current landscape of 3D multi-omics tumor atlas technologies, covering spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, and their integration with imaging modalities. It delineates the translational pathway from discovery-stage atlas tools to clinically actionable precision oncology frameworks.
