Signatures of immune cell infiltration for predicting immune escape and immunotherapy in cervical cancer.

ABSTRACT: The cervical cancer tumor microenvironment is a diverse and complex ecosystem. Tumor-immune cell infiltration (ICI) may influence immune escape and immunotherapeutic responses. However, the relationship between immune cell infiltrations, immune escape, and immunotherapy in cervical cancer has not been fully clarified. Here, Principal component analysis (PCA) and Tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE) were applied to calculate individual ICI scores and probabilities of immune escape, respectively. Through the IMvigor210 and the Cancer Immunome Atlas (TCIA) datasets, we validated the different responses to immunotherapy in two subgroups of patients. Furthermore, therapeutic benefits of different patients were predicted by the pRRophetic package. We found that patients with high ICI sc
