In our lab, we are currently conducting an in-depth investigation into the spatial organization of the TME in large-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (LCNEC) of the lung (17x marker multiplex panel). Our preliminary findings suggest significant heterogeneity in both the peritumoral bystander cell populations and the immune cell infiltrates, reflecting the diverse clinical responses observed towards immune checkpoint inhibition. Additionally, we observe marked differences in tumor vascularization, ranging from highly perfused tumors to those with diminished angiogenic activity. The integration of these spatial data with clinical outcomes, as well as genetic and transcriptomic profiles from this cohort, will provide critical insights into the underlying biology and therapeutic vulnerabilities of LCNEC. 🔬 🧬 💊 Raban Heller Konrad Steinestel Armin Riecke Akoya Biosciences, Inc.
