Abstract: The article provides a summary of a study which applied the AstroPath astronomical algorithms to pathologic analysis of specimens from patients with melanoma using multispectral approaches to image the tumor microenvironment (TME) and substitute cells for stars and galaxies. Topics include the limitations of using immunohistochemistry in assessing anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) protein expression and the impact of high-power field sampling strategies on biomarker performance.
