| Core Tip |
This review highlights differential abundance (DA) detection as a transformative framework in single-cell oncology, enabling high-resolution deconstruction of tumor heterogeneity. It surveys widely adopted DA methods and demonstrates how capturing dynamic shifts in cellular ecosystems yields critical mechanistic insights, supports clinical decision-making, and informs precision therapeutic strategies. The ongoing methodological refinements and multi-omics convergence will further elevate DA detection to a cornerstone technology in precision oncology. |
