      A perimetastatic capsule is a strong positive prognostic factor in liver metastases, but its origin remains unclear. Here, we systematically quantify the capsule’s extent and cellular composition in 263 patients with ...
    • Prognostic and predictive impact of stroma cells defned by PDGFRb expression in early breast cancer: results from the randomized SweBCG91RT trial 

      Strell, Carina; Stenmark Tullberg, Axel; Edelmann, Reidunn Jetne; Akslen, Lars Andreas; Malmström, Per-Uno; Fernö, Mårten; Holmberg, Erik; Östman, Arne; Karlsson, Per (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Purpose Predictive biomarkers are needed to aid the individualization of radiotherapy (RT) in breast cancer. Cancer-associated fibroblasts have been implicated in tumor radioresistance and can be identified by platelet-derived ...
    • Spatial immunophenotyping of the tumour microenvironment in non–small cell lung cancer 

      Backman, Max; Strell, Carina; Lindberg, Amanda; Mattsson, Johanna S.M.; Elfving, Hedvig; Brunnström, Hans; O'Reilly, Aine; Bosic, Martina; Gulyas, Miklos; Isaksson, Johan; Botling, Johan; Kärre, Klas; Jirström, Karin; Lamberg, Kristina; Pontén, Fredrik; Leandersson, Karin; Mezheyeuski, Artur; Micke, Patrick (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
