TUMOUR - STROMA RATIO
The tumour-stroma ratio (TSR) is a diagnostic tool for overall and disease free survival in different epithelial cancer types. The TSR is easy to determine on H&E sections within 1-2 minutes.
The TSR is based on the amount of stroma present within the primary tumour. The parameter distinguishes between tumours with a high stroma percentage and low stroma percentage in two categories. To learn more about scoring the TSR, watch the instruction video.
