This episode we are talking with Dr. Roberto Salgado, a Belgium based expert in breast pathology and immuno-oncology. He is Co-chair of the International Immuno-Oncology Biomarker Working Group.
Over the past several years, we have seen large advances and dedication of resources to immune oncology. We’ve also seen that information extracted by quantifying Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes on routine histologic sections adds significant predictive and prognostic information in this area.
We have known for over a hundred years, however that assessment of histologic features adds powerful information correlated with patient outcomes. Are we poised for a renaissance in histologic examination, with digital pathology as the engine?
