IMMUNOSCORE® provides a robust, precise, quantitative, and consensus assessment of lymphocytic infiltration in human tumors and has been shown to predict patient outcome: response to therapies in several indications. IMMUNOSCORE® can guide treatment decision-making by giving healthcare professionals a clear and actionable measurement of how an individual patient’s immune system is responding to their cancer. IMMUNOSCORE® is available for a growing number of indications.
HOW IMMUNOSCORE® FOR COLON CANCER WORKS
By providing an accurate measurement of T lymphocyte infiltration into the tumor, Immunoscore® gives healthcare providers insight into the risk of relapse.
A low Immunoscore® means there are few T-cells present to fight the cancer, indicating a high risk of relapse. Conversely, a high Immunoscore® means there is high infiltration of T lymphocytes, indicating a lower risk of relapse.
For example, a study has shown that Immunoscore® combined with imaging was able to identify very good responders to neoadjuvant treatment. In the "Watch and Wait" cohort, 100% success was observed in patients with Immunoscore High.
