Statistical and machine learning approaches were used to identify candidate biomarkers of various clinical parameters, which can be leveraged to improve treatment strategies for future cancer patients. Importantly, the computational methods used here are widely applicable regardless of tissue type, and they provide a framework for future quantitative assessments of biological datasets resulting from any multiplex tissue imaging assay. 000042771 540__ $$fCC BY 000042771 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000042771 650__ $$aTumor Microenvironment$$039473 000042771 650__ $$aMachine Learning$$011449 000042771 650__ $$aSingle-Cell Analysis$$039468 000042771 650__ $$aSpatial Analysis$$040030 000042771 650__ $$aBreast Neoplasms$$015809 000042771 650__ $$aSquamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck$$012663 000042771 6531_ $$aspatial proteomics 000042771 6531_ $$amultiplex immunohistochemistry 000042771 6531_ $$abreast cancer 000042771 6531_ $$apancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma 000042771 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000042771 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000042771 7001_ $$aBlise, Katie$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$10000-0002-6433-9455 000042771 8564_ $$9ef89cfcc-3218-4a4d-bfcb-7804237a577f$$s68816879$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/42771/files/Blise.Katie.2024.pdf 000042771 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:42771$$pstudent-work 000042771 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations 000042771 981__ $$aPublished$$b2024-03-22
