Abstract:Cancer cells can leverage several cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic mechanisms to escape immune system recognition. The inherent complexity of the tumor microenvironment, with its multicellular and dynamic nature, poses great challenges for the extraction of biomarkers of immune response and immunotherapy efficacy. Here, we use RNA-seq data combined with different sources of prior-knowledge to derive system-based signatures of the tumor microenvironment, quantifying immune-cell composition and intra- and inter-cel… Show more
