Spatial profiling of HPV-stratified head and neck squamous cell carcinoma reveals distinct immune niches and microenvironmental architectures.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: HPV status is a key determinant of prognosis and treatment response in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). To investigate how HPV influences the tumor-immune-stromal landscape, we performed high-dimensional spatial profiling, i...

Automated classification of tertiary lymphoid structures in colorectal cancer using TLS-PAT artificial intelligence tool.

Scientific reports
Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most common and second deadliest cancer worldwide. The immune system, particularly tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS), significantly influences CRC progression and prognosis. TLS maturation, especially in th...

Development of a tertiary lymphoid structure-based prognostic model for breast cancer: integrating single-cell sequencing and machine learning to enhance patient outcomes.

Frontiers in immunology
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer, a highly prevalent global cancer, poses significant challenges, especially in advanced stages. Prognostic models are crucial to enhance patient outcomes. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) within the tumor microenvironment ...

Spatial characterization of tertiary lymphoid structures as predictive biomarkers for immune checkpoint blockade in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Oncoimmunology
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is the standard of care for recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), yet efficacy remains low. The combined positive score (CPS) for PD-L1 is the only biomarker approved to predict response ...

Artificial intelligence-based spatial analysis of tertiary lymphoid structures and clinical significance for endometrial cancer.

Cancer immunology, immunotherapy : CII
With the incorporation of immune checkpoint inhibitors into the treatment of endometrial cancer (EC), a deeper understanding of the tumor immune microenvironment is critical. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are considered favorable prognostic fac...

Artificial Intelligence and Multimodality Data Integration Decipher Tertiary Lymphoid Structure Maturity in Gastric Cancer.

Cancer research
UNLABELLED: Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are critical components of the tumor microenvironment in gastric cancer, but clinical assessment of TLSs is challenging. The development of automated annotation tools for histopathologic slide analysis c...

Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy Promotes the Formation of Mature Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in a Remodeled Pancreatic Tumor Microenvironment.

Cancer immunology research
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a rapidly progressing cancer that responds poorly to immunotherapies. Intratumoral tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) have been associated with rare long-term PDAC survivors, but the role of TLS in PDAC and ...

Learnable prototype-guided multiple instance learning for detecting tertiary lymphoid structures in multi-cancer whole-slide pathological images.

Medical image analysis
Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are ectopic lymphoid aggregates that form under specific pathological conditions, such as chronic inflammation and malignancies. Their presence within the tumor microenvironment (TME) is strongly correlated with pat...

Cancer-Associated Lymphoid Aggregates in Histology Images: Manual and Deep Learning-Based Quantification Approaches.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Quantification of lymphoid aggregates including tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) with germinal centers in histology images of cancer is a promising approach for developing prognostic and predictive tissue biomarkers. In this article, we provide rec...
