Abstract:Immune composition in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of patient tumors has proven to play a central role in the development of metastases and response to therapy. Evidence has suggested that the metastatic TME is immune aberrant, however difficulty in obtaining biopsies of metastatic tumors has made assessment of the immune TME difficult. Here we utilize a rapid autopsy tissue collection protocol to assess the infiltration and composition of the immune TME in numerous metastatic tissue sites, paired disease-… Show more
