Survival analysis of colon cancer cohort based on QuPath automated image analysis. (a–d) Kaplan Meier survival analysis for biomarker scores of TMAs stained for CD3, CD8, p53 and PD-L1. Median cutoffs are applied in all cases, except p53 where two cutoffs were selected by an experienced pathologist to distinguish between aberrant negative, “wild type” (normal) and aberrant positive groups. Representative images showing an original core and QuPath markup image are included below. (e) Kaplan Meier curve showing patient stratification based on median tumor stromal percentage. Representative images show the original images and markup for tumors with a high and low stromal percentage respectively. Green indicates regions classified as stroma, dark red indicates tumor epithelium, while yellow represents other classified tissue or whitespace.
