Résumé

The amount and organization details of peri-tumoural stroma have been linked to patient outcomes in various cancers. In this study, we propose a novel and relatively simple methodology using polarized light microscopy (PLM) to image fibrillar structures within a tumour microenvironment, using only linear crossed polarizers. We demonstrate the technique's ability to image and extract measurement-geometry-independent quantitative morphological metrics related to stromal density and alignment in human invasive breast cancer samples. The findings are promising towards quantitative characterization of peri-tumoural stroma, with potential to develop a PLM signature of tumour microenvironment for providing clinically important information such as breast cancer behaviour or treatment outcome prognosis.
