TIAger: Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte Scoring in Breast Cancer for the TiGER Challenge. (arXiv:2206.11943v1 [eess.IV])

The quantification of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) has been shown to
be an independent predictor for prognosis of breast cancer patients. Typically,
pathologists give an estimate of the proportion of the stromal region that
contains TILs to obtain a TILs score. The Tumor InfiltratinG lymphocytes in
breast cancER (TiGER) challenge, aims to assess the prognostic significance of
computer-generated TILs scores for predicting survival as part of a Cox
proportional hazards model. For this challenge, as the TIAger team, we have
developed …
