Comparative analyses of intratumoral and peritumoral IDO-expression in human melanoma metastases of intracranial and extracranial origin. The total number of IDO-positive cells localized in the tumor (intratumoral) or around (peritumoral) in (A) ICM and (B) ECM was quantified in accordance to histopathological labeling of the tumor area by using the quantitative digital pathology tissue analysis system Definiens Tissue Studio (n ICM = 48/47 patients, n ECM = 18/16 patient, n matched-pairs = 16; **p < 0.05). To ensure statistical balance between both parameters we excluded all patient samples from the analyses in the case of missing stroma in the individual tissue specimen.
