Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a highly malignant subtype of soft tissue sarcoma, accounting for 5% of cases. Immunotherapy guided by immune cell infiltration (ICI) is reportedly a promising treatment strategy. Here, MFS samples (n = 104) from two independent databases were classified as ICI clusters A/B/C and gene clusters A/B/C. Then, a close relationship between ICI and gene clusters was established. We found that the features of these clusters were consistent with the characteristics of immune-inflamed tumors (cluster C), immune-desert tumors (cluster B), and immune-excluded tumors (cluster A). Moreover, cluster C was sensitive to immunotherapy. Finally, an independent ICI score was established to predict the therapeutic effect, which has prospects for application in guiding immunotherapy during clinical practice.
黏液纤维肉瘤(MFS)是一种高度恶性的软组织肉瘤亚型,占病例的 5%。据报道,免疫细胞浸润(ICI)指导的免疫疗法是一种很有前途的治疗策略。在这里,来自两个独立数据库的 MFS 样本(n=104)被分类为 ICI 簇 A/B/C 和基因簇 A/B/C。然后,建立了 ICI 与基因簇之间的密切关系。我们发现,这些簇的特征与免疫浸润肿瘤(簇 C)、免疫荒漠肿瘤(簇 B)和免疫排除肿瘤(簇 A)的特征一致。此外,簇 C 对免疫治疗敏感。最后,建立了一个独立的 ICI 评分来预测治疗效果,该评分有望在指导临床实践中的免疫治疗方面得到应用。
