Summary

This study aims to develop and validate a machine learning model that uses information from tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs)-specialized immune-related cell clusters found near tumors-to predict survival outcomes and immune characteristics in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. By analyzing clinical data, pathology, and imaging results, the model may help doctors better understand a patient's prognosis and personalize treatment strategies. The study will also explore how TLS-related immune patterns relate to the effectiveness of certain therapies, potentially offering new insights for immune-based treatment planning.

Conditions

  • Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer
  • Tumor Immune Microenvironment
  • Tertiary Lymphoid Structures (TLS)

Interventions

OTHER

TLS-Informed Machine Learning Prognostic Model

This intervention involves the development and application of a machine learning-based prognostic model that integrates features derived from tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) identified in tumor pathology slides, along with clinical and immunological data, to predict overall survival and immune landscape in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. The model utilizes digital pathology, image analysis, and advanced computational algorithms to quantify TLS-related characteristics and correlate them with patient outcomes. It is designed to stratify patients into risk groups and provide insight into the tumor immune microenvironment, aiming to support personalized treatment planning.
