Abstract:Many targeted cancer therapies rely on biomarkers, which are assessed by standard pathologist scoring of immunohistochemically stained tissue. However, this process is subjective, semi-quantitative and does not assess expression heterogeneity. A quantitative method to measure IHC markers might therefore significantly improve patient selection particularly of proteins expressed at low levels. To address these challenges, we have developed the Quantitative Continuous Scoring (QCS) that deploys the power of fully… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
