Clinical Scorecard: An Immune Niche Score Based on IHC Metrics Predicts Major Pathological Response to Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy in Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionResectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Key MechanismsIntegration of tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) maturity, CD8–TLS proximity, CD8/FOXP3 balance, CD163/CD68 ratio, and PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS).
Target PopulationPatients with resectable NSCLC undergoing neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy.
Care SettingOncology clinical practice.

Key Highlights

  • Remove the claim linking asthma history to higher pulmonary adverse-event rates.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

    Management

    • Consider neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for resectable NSCLC patients.

    Monitoring & Follow-up

      Risks

        Patient & Prescribing Data

        The immune niche score should be presented without unsupported claims.

        Clinical Best Practices

        • Incorporate immune niche score in clinical assessments of NSCLC.
