Abstract
BACKGROUND: The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a key role in lung cancer initiation, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods could potentially accelerate TME analysis. The aims of this study were to (1) assess the feasibility of using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained whole slide images (WSI) to develop an AI model for evaluating the TME and (2) to characterize the TME of adenocarcinoma (ADCA) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) in fibrotic and non-fibrotic lung.
