A method of computing the risk profile of a neoplastic tissue in a patient is disclosed. The method includes the steps of (a) processing a sample of tumor tissue or cancer cells from the patient in a form suitable for visualization and demarcation of cell nuclei, individually distinguishable centrosomes (iCTRs) and megacentrosomes (mCTRs) in a region of interest (ROI) defined by a plurality of cell nuclei; (b) determining the numbers of iCTRs and mCTRs associated with each cell nucleus in the ROI; (c) determining the volume of each iCTR and mCTR in the ROI; and (d) calculating one or more centrosome amplification scores (CASs) values for the sample based on steps (b) and (c), wherein the one or more CASs indicate the severity of centrosome amplification, the frequency of centrosome amplification, or both, and wherein the one or more scores provide a measure of a level of risk and/or a prognosis associated with the neoplastic tissue.
本发明公开了一种计算患者肿瘤组织风险概况的方法。该方法包括以下步骤:(a) 在由多个细胞核定义的感兴趣区(ROI)中,以适合可视化和划分细胞核、可单独区分的中心体(iCTRs)和巨中心体(mCTRs)的形式,处理来自患者的肿瘤组织或癌细胞样本;(b) 确定与 ROI 中每个细胞核相关的 iCTRs 和 mCTRs 的数量;(c) 确定 ROI 中每个 iCTR 和 mCTR 的体积;以及 (d) 根据步骤(b)和(c)计算样本的一个或多个中心体扩增评分(CAS)值,其中一个或多个 CAS 表示中心体扩增的严重程度、中心体扩增的频率或两者兼而有之,其中一个或多个评分提供了与肿瘤组织相关的风险和/或预后
水平的度量。
