    The Immunoscore (IS) assesses CD3+ and CD8+ T cells in tumours, enhancing cancer prognosis beyond traditional TNM staging.

  • 2

    IS has been validated in colorectal cancer and adapted for various solid tumours, showing improved survival correlation.

  • 3

    High IS scores generally indicate better patient outcomes, but inter-study variability limits comparability and reproducibility.

  • 4

    The integration of immune contexture metrics with genomic and imaging biomarkers is essential for precision oncology.

  • 5

    Current limitations in IS implementation include methodological heterogeneity and the need for prospective validation.
