Multi-class texture analysis in colorectal cancer histology (2016, background): “For example, the “tumour-stroma-ratio” (area covered by tumour epithelium divided by area covered by stroma) proved to be an important prognostic factor in a number of neoplastic disorders 2,44–47 .”
Tumor-stroma ratio is an independent predictor for survival in early cervical carcinoma. (2014, background): “Among the prognostic factors, the ratio of tumor to stroma (TSR) has been identified as a new and practical prognostic histologic characteristic of several solid tumors, such as esophageal cancer [7], breast cancer [8], and colon cancer [9].”
Discrimination between tumour epithelium and stroma via perception-based features (2015, result): “Similar findings have been described in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma, where stroma-rich tumors were associated with poor prognosis and an increased risk of relapse [3].”
